How a fish fin became the human hand
The human hand is the product of hundreds of millions of years of evolution, beginning with lobe-finned fish in the Devonian period. Early species like Tiktaalik developed limb-like fins capable of ...
Study of a growth series of twenty-seven specimens from the Upper Devonian of Escuminac Bay, Québec documents a complex pattern of vertebral development in the osteolepiform fish Eusthenopteron foordi ...
“We call it a ‘fish-eat-fish world,’ an ecosystem where you really needed to escape predation,” said Dr. Ted Daeschler, describing life in the Devonian period in what is now far-northern Canada.
Our ongoing effort to collect Late Devonian vertebrate fossils (370 to 360 million years old) in Pennsylvania has resulted in lots of new discoveries from highway road cuts exposing the rocks of the ...
The Devonian System of western and central Colorado consists of a lower clastic unit, consisting of the McCracken, Elbert, and Parting Formations and an upper carbonate unit, the Dyer and Ouray ...

How would you die during every mass extinction?
Since the beginning of time, Earth has created life and then wiped out most of it in catastrophic, ultra-destructive moments.
One of the best-documented evolutionary transitions is the appearance of tetrapods, the four-limbed vertebrates that now dominate the land. A large series of “fishapod” fossils have been discovered ...
The first African fossils of Devonian tetrapods (four-legged vertebrates) show these pioneers of land living within the Antarctic circle, 360 million years ago. The first African fossils of Devonian ...
I love outdated museum displays. They marvelously represent the “history” part of natural history exhibits – dusty dioramas of old ideas that are a baseline for how much our understanding has changed.
