The cranial endocast of the Upper Devonian dipnoan ‘Chirodipterus’ australis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 One of the first endocasts of a dipnoan (lungfish) to be realised was that of the Upper Devonian taxon Chirodipterus australis. This early interpretation was based on observations of the shape of the cranial cavity alone and was not based on a natural ...
