A photo of the skeleton of Gastornis on display at the Museum. The bird is tall, with tiny wings and a huge broad beak.ALT

Imagine a hefty bird that stood taller than a full-grown human with a huge, crushing break. This Fossil Friday, meet Gastornis gigantea. This powerful bird was more than 6 ft (1.8 m) tall and weighed over 330 lbs (150 kg). It lived some 55 million years ago during the Eocene. Once assumed to be a carnivore that hunted small animals, scientists now think this extinct avian was actually a vegetarian related to ducks and geese.
