P. ceratops is represented by an isolated lower molar found at Harbicht Hill, McCone County. [8] The report of the occurrence of Purgatorius in the Late Cretaceous was based on an isolated, worn molar found in a channel filling that contains early Puercan fossils. It is also abundantly represented in Pu 2-3 local faunas in the northwestern ...
A primate is a member of the biological order Primates, the group that contains lemurs, the aye-aye, lorisids, galagos, tarsiers, monkeys, and apes, with the last category including great apes. With the exception of humans, who inhabit every continent on Earth, most primates live in tropical or subtropical regions of the Americas , Africa and ...

Investigators are seeking the public's help to finally provide an ID for John Doe, whose skull was found in front of 1345 Marcy St. The rest of the skeleton was found inside the abandoned house.
The cranium was fully intact including all of its teeth from the time of death. [10] All major bones were found except the sternum and a few in the hands and feet.

The critter’s robust skull had additional bones and elements that have likely disappeared with evolution, and its elongated snout paired with a short region of the skull behind the eyes was ...

Although Nebraska man was not a deliberate hoax, the original classification proved to be a mistake, and was retracted in 1927.
