It is known from the Early Miocene (Burdigalian)-aged Alachua Formation of the Thomas Farm site.

Editorial summary

“Rhegminornis” enters the record as species of bird (fossil). Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Rhegminornis, species and bird can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1943—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Rhegminornis, species and bird.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Rhegminornis” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Rhegminornis, species and bird provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 8, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7320333. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1943.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
