Recent field work in the Eocene Krabi Basin (south Thailand) has yielded a fragment of a
primate lower jaw containing the second and third molar teeth attributed to a new genus and …

Primate dental and postcranial remains from the Eocene Pondaung Formation (Myanmar)
have been the subject of considerable confusion since their initial discoveries, and their …

Analysis of the teeth, orbital, and gnathic regions of the skull, and fragmentary postcranial
bones provides evidence for reconstructing a behavioral profile of Amphipithecidae …

The primate family, Amphipithecidae, lived during the early Cenozoic in South Asia. In this
study, the diet of late middle Eocene amphipithecids from the Pondaung Formation (Central …

Recent discoveries of older and phylogenetically more primitive basal anthropoids in China
and Myanmar, the eosimiiforms, support the hypothesis that Asia was the place of origins of …

We describe here a nearly complete lower jaw of Siamopithecus eocaenus from the Late
Eocene of Peninsular Thailand. It displays several new characters, such as the symphysis …

The Pondaung Formation(central Myanmar) is one of the richest middle/late Eocene fossil-
