Talk:Tiktaalik

Full scientific nomenclature needed! Class? Order? BDAbramson T 22:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

when I searched for 'Tiktaalik' nothing was found... but this page came up when I added 'Tiktaalik' to just after 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/' any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi, in the NYT article, they show a photo of a specimen with a reconstruction that shows the front of the animal, but does not show the likely state of the rear, as it were.

An AP article, distributed in MSNBC has a nice illustration:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12168265/

It was done by Zina Deretsky of the National Science Foundation.

Could that artist/source be contacted for copyright?

IIRC, no fossils of the rear limbs or vertebrae were found, so anything that shows it has been based off of previous, more intact fossils.

Also, would you please sign your comments with four tildes (~) so I know who is adding to this page? Ladlergo 15:34, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See clades for Tetrapodomorpha and Tetrapoda to see where Tiktaalik might fit in if it is intermediate between Panderichthys and Ichthyostega. Gdr 16:04, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

not found. Anyone planning to add anything later? "glug glug" and "I'm a dead fish thing" vandalism was what I was expecting but it turned out to be blank. Jellypuzzle | ^Talk 16:08, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
