"Chendytes"@en . . . . . . "Chendytes lawi was a goose-sized flightless sea duck, once common on the California coast, California Channel Islands, and possibly southern Oregon. It lived in the Pleistocene and survived into the Holocene. It appears to have gone extinct at about 450\u2013250 BCE. The youngest direct radiocarbon date from a Chendytes bone fragment dates to 770\u2013400 BCE and was found in an archeological site in Ventura County. Its remains have been found in fossil deposits and in early coastal archeological sites."@en . . . . . .
