Obs. Proximal two-thirds of a right femur of a supposed Spoonbill. “ The 
specific differences from P. regia and P. flavipes observable in the fossil are a greater 
flattening of the proximal end of the shaft on its posterior surface, and a diminution 
of the transverse axis of its distal moiety, resulting in a more cylindrical but more 
slender form.”
