Summary:The fossil remains of birds from the Miocene of Portugal are scarce, encompassing a total of twelve specimens, from nine paleontological outcrops located in Leiria (central Portugal), southern sector of Setubal Peninsula and along the lower Tagus Basin. This study focuses on a new specimen found in the Praia do Penedo Norte (Sesimbra) coastal cliff corresponding to a coracoid bone, attributed to Morus sp., a sulid bird, biostratigraphically framed by calcareous nannofossils within the middle Miocene (Langhian). Keywords Langhian * Morus * Marine environment * Sesimbra Los restos fósiles de aves del Mioceno de Portugal son escasos, abarcando un total de doce especímenes, procedentes de nueve afloramientos paleontológicos distintos ubicados en Leiria (centro de Portugal), sector sur de la península de Setúbal y a lo largo de la cuenca baja del Tajo. Este estudio se centra en un nuevo ejemplar encontrado en el alcantilado costero de la Praia do Penedo Norte (Sesimbra) correspondiente a un hueso coracoides, atribuido a Morus sp., La bioestratigrafía, basada en nanofósiles calcáreos, remite el hallazgo al Mioceno medio (Langhiense).
