First chimp fossil, of course, not first chimp fossil, which would be the more important find.

If you're going to be picky, it's the difference between:

1. Fossil of first chimp, or
2. First fossil of chimp.

Gotta get that adjective first positioned next to its noun, with no room for misinterpretation.
