Gymnogyps amplus
Gymnogyps amplus is an extinct species of large New World vultures in the family Cathartidae. The species was first described by L. H. Miller in 1911 from a broken tarsometatarsus. The species is the only condor species found in the La Brea Tar Pits' Pit 10, which fossils date to "a Holocene radiocarbon age of 9,000 years." The smaller, modern California condor may have evolved from G. amplus.
