S. Ducrocq, E. Buffetaut, H. Buffetaut-Tong, J.-J. Jaeger, Y. Jongkanjanasoontorn and V. Suteethorn The first unequivocal fossil dermopteran (flying lemur) is reported here. It comes from the Tertiary Basin (Upper Eocene) of Krabi, Thailand, and appears to be close to the ancestor of the extant forms. Other supposed dermopterans reported previously from North America cannot be referred to this Order. The Palaeontological Association (Free Access)
