Questions about the eocene primate Adapis & the Ludian stage
ziggycardon posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi everyone. I just ordered a cast of a Adapis parisiensis to add to my Eocene display. But after searching for some info on Adapis I have learned that they are apparently extensively studied, but hardly any of the information is available on the internet. So I was wondering if anyone here could help me narrow down some of the very sparse information that is available. I have learned that they are found in the Quercy Phosphorites Formation and in the Paris Basin. But especially on the case of the Paris Basin I really can't find anything on the exact locations where fossils of these early primates were found. Regarding the age of these fossils, I have found that they are from the Ludian stage, which is a European stage that falls in the Priabonian. I know the Priabonian lasted from 37,8 mya to 33,9 mya, but I can't seem to narrow down the exact age of the Ludian. I hope some of you might be able to help me out with some of these questions. Thank you in advance! -
