Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Chipetaia is an extinct genus of primate in the family Omomyidae containing the sole species Chipetaia lamporea known from the middle Eocene of North America. Described in 1996 by D. Tab Rasmussen, the species is known from fossil teeth as well as femur fragments and hind foot bones[1][2] Estimates of life weight based on size of teeth and leg bones range from Шаблон:Convert[2] to as high as Шаблон:Convert.[3][4] The genus name honors Native American Ute diplomat Chipeta, while the specific name is Greek for "of the Shining Mountains," the Ute name for the Rocky Mountains.[1]
