have Mesopithecus fossils ever been found in Britain?

Presence of Mesopithecus in Britain has been clearly demonstrated, even if the IP has not bothered to read the cited sources. Hemiauchenia (talk) 16:33, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to find a source for that claim in the article and drew a total blank — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:14B3:A101:D404:2193:D639:902E (talk) 02:00, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The cited source clearly supports the claim, Table 6 lists Mesopithecus monspessulanus as present in the Red Crag in England. this 2023 paper discusses a Mesopithecus tooth found in the crag in some detail, but attributes it to Mesopithecus sp.

Isn’t that about a Macaque tooth? A totally different old world primate 2A00:23C8:14B3:A101:BCFA:56C2:DC29:7831 (talk) 03:01, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
