A little dabbling duck (Anatini Vigors, 1825 - Anseriformes Wagler, 1831) from the late Miocene of Kremikovtsi (Bulgaria)

A late Miocene (Turolian) small anatine is reported by a proximal half of right carpometacarpus from the late Miocene (MN 12-13) locality near Kremikovtsi (Sofia City Province). Dimensionally it is closer and similar to modern Spatula querquedula, but shows significant morphological differences. It is the second oldest record of the small dabbling ducks in Europe and the first record on the Balkan Peninsula.
