Here is a link to the published paper: PLoS ONE: Complete Primate Skeleton from the Middle Eocene of Messel in Germany: Morphology and Paleobiology

After some further reading, it appears the fossil originally was in two pieces that were known about for some time, but owned privately, they have just finally been brought together in the American Museum of Natural History. Also, the bottom piece has been artificially 'enhanced', although, to what degree I'm not sure (I didn't read the whole article).
