''Carpolestes simpsoni'' is an extinct species of Plesiadapiformes, which is one of the earliest primate-like mammals appearing in the fossil record during the late Paleocene. ''C. simpsoni'' had grasping digits but no forward-facing eyes. Weighing about 100 grams, ''C. simpsoni'' appeared adapted for an arboreal habitat. One large, nail-tipped toe opposed other toes, allowing a firm grip on branches. Like other species of ''Carpolestes'', the dental morphology of ''C. simpsoni'' is specially adapted to eating fruit, seeds, and invertebrates. ==References== == External links == *(Mikko's Phylogeny Archive ) * ( National Geographic source ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carpolestes simpsoni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
