A 50-million-year-old, three-dimensionally preserved bat skull supports an early origin for modern echolocation
Bats are among the most recognizable, numerous, and widespread of all mammals. But
much of their fossil record is missing, and bat origins remain poorly understood, as do the …

The oldest African bat from the early Eocene of El Kohol (Algeria)
Abstract The Afro-Arabian Paleogene fossil record of Chiroptera is very poor. In North Africa
