It's a transitional bone.

The fossil, a 365-million-year-old arm bone, or humerus, shares features with primitive fish fins but also has characteristics of a true limb bone. Discovered near a highway roadside in north-central Penn., the bone is the earliest of its kind from any limbed animal.

Funny how the earliest limb bone ever found is also the most like a fish fin bone, right?

Ever notice how, when we have a thread about something significant, something that deals a death-blow to yet another creationist claim (no observed examples of evolution, no transitional species, etc.), they come out really screaming and squawking? Like putting a twig into an anthill.

What came first to the scientists -- the "appearance" of the bone, or the "dating"? Dating is pretty subjective. I imagine the "appearance" affected the scientists' dating....
