Remiornis

Remiornis heberti is an extinct species of paleognath bird from the Paleocene of France.^[1][2] It is a species comparable in size to modern rheas, and possibly related to another European Paleogene ratite, Palaeotis.^[3] In spite of being one of the oldest ratites in the world, it is often ignored for Gondwana vicariance narratives.^[4]
