https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2021/02/335798/discovery-of-2-5-million-year-old-macaque-fossil-in-morocco/ The macaques, commonly known as the Barbary Ape, though they are monkeys, still live in Morocco's cedar forests and can also be found in Gibraltar, the only monkeys in Europe, allegedly taken there by the Moors during their invasion of Spain in the eighth century. Indeed the name Gibraltar derives from 'Jebel Tariq' or 'Tariq's Mountain' where the Moroccan fleet first put ashore in 711. Azrou, Morocco : Jebel Tariq :

Hello, I recently found this small tooth (just under 1cm long). At first, I thought it might just be a weird crocodile tooth, since those are common here in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, but upon further inspection, I saw that the tooth was hollow, unlike crocodile's teeth. Also, it lacked the vertical stripes. I am not sure what this could be, it has a small hooked section at the very tip, and inside of the curve there seems to be signs of wear. I hope it could be a monkey tooth, as they are exceptionally rare (only 2 monkey teeth have been found in all of Arabia), but it could well be some other a

Any help would be much appreciated. I have listed some pictures below to help with the process. Thanks, Ryan -
http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/ancient-monkey-blood-found-fossilized-in-amber/ For the first time, fossilized mammal blood, probably from a 20 to 30 million-year-old monkey, has been found in amber. Ok, it's not quite Jurassic Park, but OligocenePark would probably be safer. In the meantime, we're learning about the evolution of parasites, and maybe something about primate development as well. Emeritus Professor George Poinar, who proposed the idea of resurrecting extinct creatures from DNA in amber, has produced some astonishing discoveries lately, including ins
