Fossils of Anhinga pannonica are known throughout various parts of Africa and Eurasia, corresponding with rock layers Miocene to Pliocene in age. In Africa remains have been found in the Beglia Formation (Tunisia, ca. 11-10 Ma), Toros-Menalla (Chad, 7 Ma) and the Ngorora Formation (Kenya, 13-12 Ma), which marks its southernmost records. Additionally a large, unidentified darter was discovered in the Sahabi Formation
