Tetonius sp., partial lower jaw with two teeth overlaid on drawing, Lower Eocene, Big Horn Basin, Wyoming

As an omomyoid, this can be used to represent concestor 7 (tarsiers) in the Ancestors' Tale.

The first fossil tarsiiform skull was found during the early history of tarsiiform paleontology (Cope,1882) with the discovery of Tetonius (Roseberger 2011). Cope ED. 1882. An anthropomorphous lemur. Am Nat 16: 73–74. https://anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.21367
