Saint Helena shearwater
The Saint Helena shearwater is an extinct species of seabird in the petrel family. It is known only from subfossil remains found on the island of Saint Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. It probably became extinct at the end of the last glacial period, or the early Holocene, as the climate became warmer.Etymology
The specific name of the taxon comes from pacificus plus Greek oides, from its relationship to the living species Puffinus pacificus.
