description Paraptenodytes brodkorbi Overview
Paraptenodytes brodkorbi is a proposed extinct penguin from the Early Miocene of Patagonia, Argentina, described as a second species of Paraptenodytes. It is based on a single humerus from the Monte Leon Formation near Puerto San Julian in Santa Cruz Province; compared with P. antarcticus, the bone was described as more robust with a proportionally larger proximal end. Its name arose from a dispute over earlier fossil assignments, and later researchers have questioned whether it is valid or should be treated as P.
robustus. [Systematic update](https://www.dinosauria.org/documents/2011/07_12_acosta.pdf)
