A Middle Eocene Haplorhine Frontal Bone From the Tornillo Basin of Texas, and Its Implications for the Phylogenetic Relationships of <i>Rooneyia</i> and Other Paleogene Primates
The lateral segment of the orbitofrontal canal and substantial ventral expansion of the lateral process are features restricted to the Haplorhini among crown primates. The morphological features shared by TMM 46513-1 and Rooneyia suggest that they may be stem haplorhines, but are less consistent with the hypothesis that Rooneyia is a stem anthropoid.
