	New primate species found in 42 million-year-old Laredo fossils
		The association of primate fossils with the skeletal remains of oysters, sharks, rays, giant aquatic snakes and crocodiles, along with mangrove palm fruits and pollen, indicates that the middle Eocene shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico lay 150 miles inland of its present position, Westgate said.
		Omomyids (members of the extinct taxon Omomyidae) lived 34 to 50 million years ago during the Eocene Epoch and were one of two groups of known Eocene primates.
		Omomyids had large eye orbits, long grasping fingers and short snouts.

	Omomyid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The omomyids, the members of the extinct Omomyidae family, very similar to the tarsiers.
		The omomyids used their long fingers to climbs trees, but it is unknown whether it was to escape from being eaten, or to search for food, or both.
		Some scientists believe that omomyids are the ancestral form of haplorrhines, the apes, monkeys, and humans, while others believe they are an evolutionary dead end offshoot related only to the tarsiers.

		Some of the features that the Omomyids possessed were: Big eye orbits, long grasping fingers, long short snout, and smaller than a quarter of a pound.
		The Omomyids utilized their long fingers to climbs trees for a couple of reasons, whether it is to escape from being eaten or to get some food.
		Some scientists believe that Omomyids are the ancestral form of Haplorrhiniâs, or apes, monkeys, and humans.

	Paleocene mammals of the world
		Typical omomyids were small creatures with large eyes that suggest activity during the night.
		Omomyids may include the ancestors of the Southeast Asian tarsiers, nocturnal hunters of small prey that are great leapers and habitually cling to branches in a vertical position.
		Adapids and omomyids appear all of a sudden in the fossil record of Europe and North America at the beginning of the Eocene, which suggests they immigrated at that time from another part of the world, either from Africa or from Asia.

		Teilhardina belonged to the tarsierlike omomyids that lived 55 to 36 million years ago.
		The creature's size and sharp teeth peg it as an insect eater, the scientists report in the Jan. 1 Nature.
		Although the Asian Teilhardina find comes from a primate that lived near the time of omomyid origins, this ancient creature could have been nocturnal, as has been traditionally assumed, says paleontologist Robert D. Martin of the Field Museum in Chicago in a commentary published with the new report.

		In the early Eocene, omomyids were dominated, both in abundance and diversity, by the subfamily Anaptomorphinae.
		Lake margin and proximal floodplain habitats are those most commonly occupied by omomyines in the Bridgerian with anaptomorphines being more common in basin margin and distal floodplain areas not commonly sampled.
		Omomyine immigration and sampling of differing paleohabitats are two possible explanations for the changes documented in omomyid diversity and abundance.
