The fossil remains of birds from the Miocene of Portugal are scarce, encompassing a total of twelve specimens, from nine paleontological outcrops located in Leiria (central Portugal), southern sector of Setúbal Peninsula and along the lower Tagus Basin. This study focuses on a new specimen found in the Praia do Penedo Norte (Sesimbra) coastal cliff corresponding to a coracoid bone, attributed to Morus sp., a sulid bird, biostratigraphically framed by calcareous nannofossils within the middle Miocene (Langhian).
