NECROLEMUR FOSSIL FOR SALE

Necrolemur is considered the best preserved fossil member of the tarsier group. The skeletal remains of these small omomyid primates indicate that they had large eyes and ears, meaning they could hunt at night. They also had small sharp teeth which were likely used to chew through the exoskeletons of insects - which were its main food. Similar to modern day tarsiers, Necrolemur also had gripping pads on its long fingers and toes, a long tail that acted as a counterbalance, and long arms and legs which helped it navigate its way from branch to branch. Necrolemur fossils are primarily collected from the Middle to Late Eocene deposits of Western Europe.
