1 The Tetrapods Transition to Land The Old Order (or, "Fish Out Of Water") Fossils of Carboniferous amphibians were relatively well known by the turn of the century, as were their probable piscine (fish-like) ancestors, the Devonian lobe-finned fishes. But there was a sizable anatomical ga...
The transition from lobe-finned fishes, with pre-adaptations suitable for breathing air and moving onto to land, to the tetrapods has been presented elsewhere (Sahney et al., 2010). By the mid-Carboniferous Era amphibian-like tetrapods were present in the fossil record, and by the Permian ...
The term tetrapod refers tofour-limbed vertebrates, including humans. To complete this transition, several anatomical changes were necessary. ... Elpistostege, from the Late Devonian period of Canada, is now considered the closest fish to tetrapods (4-limbed land animals), which includes humans....
VOLCANIC WINTER SCENARIO FOR THE SELECTIVE NATURE OF THE TRIASSIC-JURASSIC TETRAPOD TRANSITION ON LANDA major challenge facing our understanding of mass extinctions is constraining the causes of the selectivity of mass extinctions. The end-Triassic mass extinction (ETE) was among the largest or these...

Using these data we can now evaluate the locomotor capabilities of numerous important fossil taxa that spanned the water-to-land transition in tetrapod evolution," Kawano said. How forelimbs overtook fins in land invasion The discovery of two Devonian tetrapods in South Africa suggests that the ...

3.During the Carboniferous Period, the evolutionary adaption of the amniote egg allowed the early tetrapods to lay their eggs on land — allowing the species to transition to a fully on-land lifestyle, according to the University of California Museum of Paleontology. ...
