The closest relatives of tetrapods, ‘osteo-lepiform’ and elpistostegalid sarcopterygians 4, have fins designed on a simple bifurcate pattern and do not have structures that can be readily compared with digits ( Fig. 1c). In contrast, the new fin contains an array of eight distally facing and jointed preaxial radials that are superficially similar in number and configuration to the digits of early tetrapods ( Fig. 1d). In addition, six of these radials articulate with homologues of the carpus (intermedium and ulnare) at a common proximo-distal level. The radials of the new fin differ from tetrapod digits in that they are flattened and encased by stiff unjointed dermal fin rays ( Fig. 1a, b). Phylogenetic comparisons with other sarcopterygians are complicated by missing data but current hypotheses place rhizodontids just outside a group containing ‘osteolepiformes’, elpistostegalids and tetrapods 4, 5. This suggests two possibilities: fingers are either primitive to stem tetrapods, or digit-like structures evolved independently in a closely related group of Devonian fish. Either phylogenetic interpretation forces us to question the use of digits as a key innovation associated with the origin of tetrapods.For more flavour, and to keep the fish moist and juicy, I've mixed some mayonnaise with the egg that's used to bind the crumbs to the fish.
