Nosmips aenigmaticus is a rare fossil primate known only from 12 teeth. Most teeth were found at a site in the Fayum Depression about 40 miles outside Cairo, Egypt.[1]
Nosmips aenigmaticus probably lived 37 million years ago in Africa and has not been successfully classified within any group of primates. [2]
