Wikipedia

  1. lobe-finned fish

    Sarcopterygii (; from Ancient Greek σάρξ (sárx) 'flesh', and πτέρυξ (ptérux) 'wing, fins') — sometimes considered synonymous with Crossopterygii (from Ancient Greek κροσσός (krossós) 'fringe') — is a taxon (traditionally a class or subclass) of the bony fishes known as the lobe-finned fishes. The group Tetrapoda, a mostly terrestrial superclass including amphibians, sauropsids (reptiles, including dinosaurs and therefore birds) and synapsids (with mammals being the only extant group), evolved from certain sarcopterygians; under a cladistic view, tetrapods are themselves considered a subgroup within Sarcopterygii. The known extant non-tetrapod sarcopterygians include two species of coelacanths and six species of lungfishes.

    Lobe-finned fish, also known as Sarcopterygii, are a class of fish characterized by fleshy, lobed, paired fins, which are joined to the body by a single bone. These fish are thought to be the ancestors of land vertebrates and are distinguished from other fish by their muscular pectoral and pelvic fins, which allow for movement in both water and on land. They also have internal nostrils and two dorsal fins. Examples include lungfish and coelacanths.
