Panderichthids:

"The shoulders exhibits (sic--but I'm in no position today to complain about someone else's conjugations) several tetrapod-like features, while the humerus is longer than those found in other lobe-fins. On the other hand, the distal parts of the front fins are unlike those of tetrapods. As would be expected from a fin, there are numerous lepidotrichs (long and thin fin rays). The distal fin also has a plate of fused radial bones instead of the fingers found in tetrapods.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe fish DO "exhibits" shoulders, hmmm. I wish I had a picture, I don't trust these words of bone-dreamers.

Yeah, maybe it's all a fake. We might really be sitting around a cave somewhere dreaming this. Thanks for the scientific insight.
