Several indeterminate bat fossils in France may belong to Necromantis. [9] [10] Currently, only jaws and skulls are known, with a single humerus known as a postcranial remain. More recently, Necromantis fragmentatum has been found in the Late Eocene deposits of Djebel Chambi, Tunisia. This north African species is known from several isolated ...

The two oldest-known fossil skeletons of bats, unearthed in southwestern Wyoming and dating to at least 52 million years ago, are providing insight into the early evolution of these flying mammals ...
Palaeochiropteryx tupaiodon is the most common mammal found at Messel. An additional species of Palaeochiropteryx , P. sambuceus , has been described from the middle Eocene of North America. [ 4 ] All other species belonging to Palaeochiropterygidae are known only from isolated teeth and jaw fragments from Europe , India , Turkey , and possibly ...
Onychonycteris finneyi was the strongest evidence so far in the debate on whether bats developed echolocation before or after they evolved the ability to fly. O. finneyi had well-developed wings, and could clearly fly, but lacked the enlarged cochlea of all extant echolocating bats, closely resembling the old world fruit bats which do not echolocate. [1]
