elephant birds versus thunder birds
Perhaps some of you folks down under can help out, eh? Am doing a skeletal
restoration of Dromornis (in part after Murray & Megirian 1998), and want to
scale it to the largest example known. Supposedly dromornithids are the
largest birds, but so far have not come across that exceeds the 810 mm
tibia-astragalus length cited by Monnier for Aepyornis (do not have access to
Rich 1979 here at Hopkins). Measurements of a larger dromornithid would be
appreciated.
