Nosmips aenigmaticus is a rare fossilprimate known only from 12 teeth. Most teeth were found at a site in theFayum Depression about 40 miles (64 km) outsideCairo,Egypt.[3]

Nosmips aenigmaticus probably lived 37 million years ago in Africa and has not been successfully classified within any group of primates.[4] In particular, it is distinct from the three main branches of primate found in Africa at the time -anthropoids,adapiforms andlemuriforms. It is weakly associated with theEosimiidae. Itspremolars are specialised and the tooth enamel displays extensive signs of pitting, which would appear to be consistent with a diet of either seeds or fruits with hard pits.[5]

Name

[edit]

Nosmips is an anagram of Simpson. The name was chosen to honour paleontologist and anagram enthusiastGeorge Gaylord Simpson.
