Oldest known extinct little penguin fossil skull found in New Zealand

A group of paleontologists, one with Massey University, two with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and the fourth from the Bruce Museum, has found the fossilized remains of the oldest known extinct little penguin. In their paper published in the Journal of Paleontology, the group describes where and how the fossils were found and how the little birds fit in with modern little penguins.
