Talk:List of fossil bird genera

message: The number of fossil taxa in some extant genera (e.g. Phalacrocorax) is overwhelming. I suggest that by and by (pending sufficient references) these are moved into an appropriate category in the genus article (e.g. "Evolution of Cormorants" for the example above). Then only the genera with known fossil species would be listed, shortening the article considerably. Eventually (I'm talking the next years here) it would be desirable to pep up the articles on higher-level Neornithes taxa with a brief section on evolutionary origins, as is already the case in some examples. See Fossil_birds#Sphenisciformes and Penguins for an example of how to layout the prehistoric spp of extant genera and save considerable space. Dysmorodrepanis 04:28, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, I would like to know what are precisely the sources for that list. The only consistent reference mentionned is Olson, Storrs L. (1985): The fossil record of birds, but it's dated 1985, which is a bit old. What sources could I use do write a list of fossil birds on an other wiki ? Thanks for you help, regards PurpleHz (talk) 00:57, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
