Morphological variations in the dorsal fin finlets of extant polypterids raise questions about their taxonomical validity
Fossil polypterids are mainly represented by disarticulated material, most of them pinnules. However, there is no study that proves the taxonomical validity of these structures. Here we describe the pinnules of four species of extant polypterids and report for the first time intraindividual variatio...
