- Catopithecus ist eine ausgestorbene Gattung der Primaten, die vor rund 30 Millionen Jahren im Gebiet der heutigen Fossillagerstätte Fayyum in Ägypten vorkam. Die ersten Fossilien der Gattung – ein teilweise erhaltener Unterkiefer, Bruchstücke eines Schädels und mehrere einzelne Zähne – wurden Ende 1987 geborgen und 1989 von Elwyn L. Simons zur neu benannten, bislang einzigen Art der Gattung, Catopithecus browni, gestellt. (de)
- Catopithecus is an early catarrhine fossil. It is known from more than 16 specimens of a single species, Catopithecus browni, found in the Jebel Qatrani Formation of the Fayum Province, Egypt. The Jebel Qatrani Formation has been divided into two main faunal zones based on the fact that the fauna found in the lower portion of the quarry appear to be more primitive than those found in the upper section. The upper zone has been dated to older than 31 ± 1 myr based on the dating of a basalt layer that lies immediately above the formation and Nicolas Steno’s Law of Superposition. The lower zone contains the late Eocene green shale unit called Locality-41 (L-41) in which all the specimens of Catopithecus browni have been found. The relative dating of L-41 based on paleomagnetic correlations places it at 36 Myr according to Simons et al (1999), but Seiffert (2006) suggests this should be revised to 34.8-33.9 Myr. (en)
