The Great auk Pinguinus impennis (Linnaeus, 1758) is an extinct bird that until the 19th century was widespread in the boreal region of the Northern Hemisphere. Only six subfossil finds were known from The Netherlands. Recently, sediments dredged from the Eurogeul area, offshore province of Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands (North Sea) yielded three new skeletal elements attributable to the Great auk (two proximal humerus fragments and one complete ulna). Radiocarbon dating was attempted on one of these specimens. This did not yield a result, due to non-preservation of the collagen. A Holocene (< 7500 years old) age is however most likely. In this paper the three new specimens are described, with the aim of allowing fellow collectors to recognize possible supplementary material in their collections and to underline the importance of careful collecting of these small and often fragmentary remains. It is already clear that remains of Great auk are more commonly found in The Netherlands than previously thought.
