Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999•National Acad SciencesIn this paper, we provide evidence that contrary to the current view, primates on the
European continent did survive the dramatic extinction/origination event across the
Eocene/Oligocene boundary 34 million years ago that severely affected the Eurasian
mammal communities (the European “Grande Coupure” and the Asian “Mongolian
Remodeling”). The survival of a mouse-sized omomyid for at least 2 million years, recorded
in two localities of the Lower Stampian (Lower Oligocene) in a well dated stratigraphic series …

In this paper, we provide evidence that contrary to the current view, primates on the European continent did survive the dramatic extinction/origination event across the Eocene/Oligocene boundary 34 million years ago that severely affected the Eurasian mammal communities (the European “Grande Coupure” and the Asian “Mongolian Remodeling”). The survival of a mouse-sized omomyid for at least 2 million years, recorded in two localities of the Lower Stampian (Lower Oligocene) in a well dated stratigraphic series of fluviatile sediments in the north oriental sector of the Ebro Basin (Northeastern Spain), reflects the size-related survival pattern described recently for other coeval mammalian taxa.
