Struthio linxiaensis is an extinct species of ratite from the Miocene of China.[1]
Description
A Pelvic skeleton including a synsacrum, was recovered from mudstone in the Linxia Basin, Guanghe County, Gansu Province, northwest China. Based on the size of these remains, it is believed to have been slightly larger than a struthio camelus. This area was believed to have been either open grasslands or wetlands, when this Ostrich lived.[1]
