Purgatorius is the genus of the four extinct species believed to be the earliest example of a primate or a proto-primate, a primatomorph precursor to the Plesiadapiformes. Remains were originally discovered in what is now eastern Montana's Hell Creek Formation in deposits believed to be about 63 million years old. They have also been widely discovered in the early Paleocene Bug Creek fauna, along with other leptictid. These deposits were once thought to be latest Cretaceous, but it is now clear that they are Paleocene channels with time-averaged fossil assemblages. It is thought to have been rat-sized, 6 in (15 cm) long, diurnal insectivore, who burrowed through small holes in the ground.
