Research Abstract |
Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University, has sent several expeditions to South America since 1976, and studied the extant and extinct New World monkeys. In the field season of 1988, a nearly complete mandible was obtained from the middle Miocene, deposited in the La Venta badlands, Colombia, in cooperation with Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Geologico-Mineras. The preliminary description of the fossil was given in Kyoto University Overseas Research Reports of New World Monkeys, VII, in attention to the comparison with Neosaimiri frpm the same badlands. Further, geolo-gical and morphological works were partly reported in the same volume.
