Eusthenopteron

Extinct genus of tetrapodomorphs

Eusthenopteron (from Greek: εὖσθένος eûsthénos 'stout', and Greek: πτερόν pteron 'wing' or 'fin') is an extinct genus of prehistoric marine lobe-finned fish known from several species that lived during the Late Devonian period, about 385 million years ago. It has attained an iconic status from its close relationship to tetrapods. Early depictions of animals of this genus show them emerging onto land, but paleontologists now think that Eusthenopteron species were strictly aquatic animals, though this is not completely known.
