Europolemur
''Europolemur'' is a genus of adapiformes primates that lived in Europe during the middle Eocene. ==Morphology== ''Europolemur klatti'' is part of a group of long-digited fossils, and most likely approximates early euprimate hand proportions. ''E. klatti'' has a grasping hallux and there is evidence that supports that ''E. klatti'' may have had nails instead of claws. This insinuates that stabilizing the tips of the digits and hand must have in some way been an important function for them and their lifestyle in their habitat. Relative to the forearm, the hand of ''E. klatti'' was large which may be related to vertical climbing or posture. The shape of the calcaneus resembles that found in ''Smilodectes'' and ''Notharctus'' and ''E. klatti'' had an average body mass of 1.7 kilograms.
