Aquila bullockensis
''Aquila bullockensis'' is an extinct species of large true eagles in the Accipitridae family. ''A. bullockensis'' is related to the living species ''A. audax'' to which it might be ancestral. The species is solely known from the distal end of a right humerus found in the Middle Miocene (about 12 Ma), Bullock Creek deposits in Australia. ''A. bullockensis'' is the oldest confirmed record of the genus ''Aquila'' in Australia, and possibly in the world.〔
==History and classification==
The species is known solely from the holotype specimen, number QVM:2000:GFV:154, the distal end of a right humerus, conserved in the collections housed by the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston, Tasmania.〔 The specimen was collected from Bullock Creek exposures of the Camfield Fossil Beds, located south-southeast of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. The bone was first studied by a pair of researchers from Monash University in Melbourne, Victoria and led by Priscilla Gaff as part of her master's thesis. Gaff and Walter E. Boles published their 2010 type description in the ''Records of the Australian Museum''.〔 The specific epithet "''bullockensis''" was chosen by the authors in recognition of the type locality, with the Latin ''ensis'' meaning "belonging to".〔
