Scarlett's shearwater (''Puffinus spelaeus'') was a species of seabird in the petrel family Procellariidae. Its common name commemorates New Zealand palaeontologist Ron Scarlett. This bird became known from fossil bones found in caves in the west and north-west of South Island, New Zealand in 1991.〔(Holotype ) of ''Puffinus spelaeus'' in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa〕 It is likely to have been driven to extinction by the kiore ''Rattus exulans'', which was introduced by Polynesians to New Zealand less than 1000 years ago.〔(A New Fossil Species of Shearwater Puffinus From the Late Quaternary of the South Island, New Zealand, and Notes on the Biogeography and Evolution of the Puffinus gavia Superspecies ) by RN Holdaway and TH Worthy; ''Emu - Austral Ornithology'' 94(3) pgs 201 - 215〕 ==References==
