It's #FossilFriday! Paracolobus chemeroni lived during the Pliocene, about 3 million years ago, and is one of the largest colobine (leaf-eating) monkeys ever known. The fossil skeleton (of which this is a cast) was found nearly complete; only the hands, part of the feet, and rear of the skull were lacking. Like the living proboscis monkey, Paracolobus was probably mainly tree-dwelling. The fossil was collected in 1966 in the Chemeron Formation, Baringo Basin, in Kenya.
Find this cast in the Museum's Hall of Advanced Mammals.
