Location and age: Beremend 38; Lower Pliocene (MN16).
Material: 1 distal right tarsometatarsus ( Figure 2 View FIGURE 2 /9).
Dimensions (in mm): E—8.3, F—11.5, G—9.2.
Description: In particular, the tarsometatarsus varies between owl species. Morphological differences are mostly found in the distal epiphysis. In this case, the diaphysis is rather short and stout and the trochlea metatarsi II is clublike.
