flag 45,000-year-old fossil skull of extinct giant "giga-goose" bird, Genyornis newtoni, discovered in South Australia provides new insights into its appearance and evolution. flag The bird, which stood up to 2.25 meters tall and weighed up to 230 kilograms, had a large braincase, large upper and lower jaws, and a unique casque structure above its small nostrils, possibly a feature for sexual display. flag The new evidence suggests that Dromornithidae, the avian family that G. newtoni belongs to, should be reclassified as a type of waterfowl.
