| Here is a creature with fins that can do push-ups. |
| Here is a creature with fins that can do push-ups. This is clearly an animal that is able to support itself on the ground. |
| It could either push itself straight up and down or pull itself forward. It more likely flopped around like a seal rather than walked like a horse. |
| It could flex the elbow and extend the wrist so the tip of the fin could lie against the ground. It could do a push-up. |

| It took a long time for us to figure out really the extent of what we had. |

| Most of the major joints of the fin are functional in this fish. The shoulder, elbow, and even parts of the wrist are already there and working in ways similar to the earliest land-living animals. |

| This animal represents the transition from water to land?the part of history that includes ourselves. |
