Early Eocene primates from Gujarat, India.
The oldest euprimates known from India come from the Early Eocene Cambay Formation at Vastan Mine in Gujarat. An Ypresian (early Cuisian) age of approximately 53Ma (based on foraminifera) indicates that these primates were roughly contemporary with, or perhaps predated, the India-Asia collision. Here we present new euprimate fossils from Vastan Mine, including teeth, jaws, and referred postcran...
متن کاملThe first keroplatid ( Diptera : Keroplatidae ) species from the Lower Eocene amber of Vastan , Gujarat , India MÓNICA
India is considered one of the biodiversity hotspots of the world (Mittermeier et al. 2004), being a member of the IndoBurma hotspot, which formerly included the Himalaya chain and the associated foothills in Nepal, Bhutan and India. The great diversity of fauna and flora in India is probably due to the large diversity of ecosystems and also probably due to its complex biogeographic and geodyna...
متن کاملWebspinners in Early Eocene amber from western India (Insecta, Embiodea)
The family Scelembiidae (Neoembiodea: Embiomorpha: Archembioidea) is recorded from Asia for the first time, based on two individuals preserved in Early Eocene amber from the Cambay Basin, western India. Kumarembia hurleyi Engel & Grimaldi, gen. n. et sp. n., is described, figured, and distinguished from other archembioid genera. The genus shares male genitalic features with scelembiids, otherwi...
متن کاملEarly Eocene lagomorph (Mammalia) from Western India and the early diversification of Lagomorpha.
We report the oldest known record of Lagomorpha, based on distinctive, small ankle bones (calcaneus and talus) from Early Eocene deposits (Middle Ypresian equivalent, ca 53 Myr ago) of Gujarat, west-central India. The fossils predate the oldest previously known crown lagomorphs by several million years and extend the record of lagomorphs on the Indian subcontinent by 35 Myr. The bones show a mo...
متن کاملSHORT COMMUNICATION High bat (Chiroptera) diversity in the Early Eocene of India
The geographic origin of bats is still unknown, and fossils of earliest bats are rare and poorly diversified, with, maybe, the exception of Europe. The earliest bats are recorded from the Early Eocene of North America, Europe, North Africa and Australia where they seem to appear suddenly and simultaneously. Until now, the oldest record in Asia was from theMiddle Eocene. In this paper, we report...
