Figure 6 in The evolutionary radiation of modern birds (Neornithes): reconciling molecules, morphology and the fossil record

Figure 6. Cartoon to depict consensus relationships among Galliformes ('landfowl') along with some selected fossil material (based on Dyke, 2003b and Dyke et al., 2003): A, hypothesis for the phylogenetic positions of the Lower Eocene (c. 55 Mya) taxa Gallinuloides and Paraortygoides; B, fossil elements of Paraortygoides from the Lower Eocene London Clay Formation of England (see Dyke & Gulas, 2002); C, holotype specimen of Gallinuloides wyomingensis from the Lower Eocene Green River Formation of Wyoming (North America) (Dyke, 2003b). Scale bar = 10 mm.
