Field work in the Fayum Depression, Egypt, and digital curation of Fayum fossils is
supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation through grants BCS-0416164 (
https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0416164), BCS-0819186 (
https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0819186), and BCS-1231288 (
https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1231288), Gordon and Ann Getty, and The Leakey Foundation (
https://leakeyfoundation.org/). MRB was supported by a U.S. National Science Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Improvement
Grant (DEB-1311354;
https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1311354&HistoricalAwards=false), a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (
https://www.nsfgrfp.org/), a Turkana Basin Institute Graduate Fellowship (
http://www.turkanabasin.org/about/fellowships/), and a Stony Brook University Graduate Council Fellowship, and is currently supported
by a U.S. National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology (DBI-1612062;
https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1612062). Portions of the data acquisition for this study were also supported by grants from
The Explorers Club (
https://explorers.org/expeditions/funding/expedition_grants) and the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (
