Summary[edit]

Fossil fish bridges evolutionary gap between animals of land and sea
Description
Deutsch: Lebendrekonstruktion von Tiktaalik roseae, einer Übergangsform („Missing Link“) zwischen Muskelflosser-Fischen und Landwirbeltieren aus dem Oberdevon von Nordamerika.
English: Life restoration of Tiktaalik roseae, a transitional fossil ("missing link") between sarcopterygian fishes and tetrapods from the late Devonian period of North America. New research has provided the first detailed look at the internal head skeleton of Tiktaalik roseae , the 375-million-year-old fossil animal that represents an important intermediate step in the evolutionary transition from fish to animals that walked on land. This is an artist's conception of the species. The image has frequently been used in Internet meme templates.[1]
Polski: Artystyczna próba rekonstrukcji sposobu życia Tiktaalika roseae, przejściowej formy kopalnej (tzw. “brakującego ogniwa ewolucji”) pomiędzy rybami a czworonożnymi płazami (późny Dewon, Ameryka Północna).
