The updated text offers new phylogenetic diagrams that clarify the relationships among fish groups, as well as cutting-edge global knowledge that brings this classic reference up to date. With this resource, you can classify orders, families, and genera of fishes, understand the connections among fish groups, organize fishes in their evolutionary context, and imagine new areas of research. To further assist your work, this text provides representative drawings, many of them new, for most families of fishes, allowing you to make visual connections to the information as you read. It also contains many references to the classical as well as the most up-to-date literature on fish relationships, based on both morphology and molecular biology. The study of fishes is one that certainly requires dedication—and access to reliable, accurate information. With more than 30,000 known species of sharks, rays, and bony fishes, both lobe-finned and ray-finned, you will need to master your area of study with the assistance of the best reference materials available.

... Devonian and earlier periods. Among the gnathostome (jawed vertebrate) features that appear in one or more of these clades are paired (pectoral and pelvic) fins. Coates (2003) discussed the possible evolutionary origin of paired fins ...
... Devonian. Taxa of uncertain affinities, of which some are not definitely known to be heterostracans, include the following (names with endings from Janvier, 1996): †CARDIPELTIDA (e.g., †Cardipeltis). †CORVASPIDIDA (e.g., †Corvaspis) ...
... Devonian taxa, e.g., †Endeiolepis of Quebec, may be anaspidiform), predominantly freshwater. Genera include †Birkenia, †Lasanius, †Pharyngolepis, and †Rhyncholepis (e.g., Arsenault and Janvier, 1991; Janvier, 1996). †Jamoytius and ...
... Devonian (Turner, 1992). Ordovician genera include †Sandivia (Karatajute-Talimaa, 1997) and †Stroinolepis (Märss and Karatajute-Talimaa, 2002). There are questions on the monophyly of thelodonts and their interrelationships. For example ...
... Devonian †Furcacaudidae (†Canonia, †Furcacauda, †Cometicercus, and †Sphenonectris). According to Wilson and Märss (2009), the group could include as many as five other families (seven in all): †Nikoliviidae (e.g., †Chattertonodus ...
