Description
Together with Paralouatta marianae from Cuba, it is the oldest known New World monkey of North America.[2] Fossils of Panamacebus, a left upper first molar and lower premolar,[3] were uncovered from the Las Cascadas Formation, of which tuffs were analyzed providing an age of 20.93 ± 0.17 Ma,[4] of the Panama Canal Zone.[5]
gollark: They are very cool.
gollark: My current power generation can only support frequent use of high-efficiency spatial IO frames of less than 16x16x16 lest all power cut out and my base be plunged into eternal darkness from which it can never escape.
gollark: One of my long-term plans is to make a design allowing me to just automatically churn out compact machines filled with fusion reactors which work.
gollark: No need to bring lithium into this.
gollark: You *can* just electrolyze water for hydrogen.
