Distributional patterns of ?Mawsoniidae (Sarcopterygii: Actinistia) [PDF]
Anais Da Academia Brasileira De Ciencias, 2014 Mawsoniidae are a fossil family of actinistian fish popularly known as coelacanths, which are found in continental and marine paleoenvironments. The taxon is considered monophyletic, including five valid genera (Axelrodichthys, Chinlea, Diplurus ...

The first virtual cranial endocast of a lungfish (sarcopterygii: dipnoi).
PLoS ONE, 2014 Lungfish, or dipnoans, have a history spanning over 400 million years and are the closest living sister taxon to the tetrapods. Most Devonian lungfish had heavily ossified endoskeletons, whereas most Mesozoic and Cenozoic lungfish had largely ...

A new origin of the ‘modern’ lungfish dentition revealed by taxonomic overlap between Devonian and Carboniferous dipnoans [PDF]
PeerJLungfishes (Dipnoi, Sarcopterygii) initially radiated in the Early Devonian, and reached the apogee of their diversity during this period, especially with regard to their dentitions.

Herpetichthyes, Amphibioidei, Choanichthyes or Sarcopterygii? [PDF]
Nature, 1955 WE are glad to see Prof. A. S. Romer's authority withdrawn from the unhappy term Choanichthyes; but we do not think it necessary or desirable to coin a new one to cover the Rhipidistia, Actinistia and Dipnoi. We would revert to calling them all Crossopterygii.

First Devonian dipnoans (Vertebrata, Sarcopterygii) from Spitsbergen
Comptes Rendus - Palevol, 2006 For the first time, dipnoan remains are described from the Devonian of Spitsbergen. According to the stratigraphy and the associated vertebrate fauna, they are considered as Late Emsian–Early Eifelian in age. Unfortunately remains are too sketchy and non-diagnostic to be referred or compared to a known Devonian dipnoan. This new material, determined as

Histology of juvenile skin of Lepidosiren paradoxa Fitzinger, 1837 (Sarcopterygii, Dipnoi) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019 : The skin of three juvenile Lepidosiren paradoxa specimens was examined. The epidermis was composed of a polystratified epithelium resting on a basement membrane, including mucus-secreting cells, and a cuticle of mucopolysaccharides on the surface.

The cranial endocast of Dipnorhynchus sussmilchi (Sarcopterygii: Dipnoi) and the interrelationships of stem-group lungfishes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The first virtual cranial endocast of a lungfish from the Early Devonian, Dipnorhynchus sussmilchi, is described. Dipnorhynchus, only the fourth Devonian lungfish for which a near complete cranial endocast is known, is a key taxon for clarifying ...
