Actually the primate like animals were already in existence then...the oldest fossils which show fairly clear primate anatomical structure are around 80-90 million years old. Granted, the animal looked like a mouse, but it was the start of the evolution towards the primates proper (which developed around 60-64Ma), as we know it.
