From water to land 375 million years ago


Nature has a paper describing fossil evidence for an ancient transitional form between fish and tetrapods, found in northern Canada.

From the abstract: "The morphological features and geological setting of this new animal are suggestive of life in shallow-water, marginal and subaerial habitats."
