A revised reconstruction of the dermal skull roof of Acanthostega gunnari , an early tetrapod from the Late Devonian
ABSTRACT A revised reconstruction of the dermal skull roof of Acanthostega gunnari from the Upper Devonian of East Greenland is provided, incorporating modifications consequent upon further study of the specimens and in the light of new information from the Upper Devonian genus Ventastega from Latvi...
