Biology:Edworthia
From HandWiki
Edworthia is an extinct genus of paromomyid plesiadapiform which existed in Alberta, Canada, during the early Paleocene (middle Torrejonian age).[1] It was first named by Richard C. Fox, Craig S. Scott and Brian D. Rankin in 2010 and the type species is Edworthia lerbekmoi.[1] Edworthia was described from a recently discovered locality in the Paskapoo Formation, exposed at a road cut in Edworthy Municipal Park.[1]
Palaeobiology
Palaeoecology
Dental topographic analysis has recovered E. lerbekmoi as an omnivore with a tendency towards frugivory.[2]
