Thirty years of Devonian collecting has yielded diverse and high quality fossils that allow us to assess this issue. Major changes to the fin rays were underway before the origin of limbs. Moreover, developmental evidence reveals that the origin of digits and the loss of rays may linked during embryogenesis.</p><p>	Host: Graduate Students</p>
