Part 5 – Living on Land From fish to (terrestrial) tetrapod
2
“fishes”tetrapods The Transition
3
Challenges of terrestrial living
4
“Fishes” Tetrapods
5
The players …..
6
Aquatic tetrapods
7
† Shallow water, freshwater aquatic tetrapod (lobe-finned fish)
8
Aquatic tetrapods
9
Icthyostega Internal choanae
11
Aquatic / terrestrial tetrapods
12
† Primitive aquatic tetrapods
13
† Primitive terrestrial tetrapods (on the way to amphibians)
14
Terrestrial tetrapods
15
2 terrestrial tetrapod groups
17
Amniotes (reptile/bird, mammal) (Lepospondyli) 1.
18
† Primitive amniotes (pre- reptile/bird, mammal) (Lepospondyli – husk vertebrae ) 1.
20
Temnospondyli 2. Amphibians + (many) extinct things
21
Temnospondyli 2. † Proto-Amphibians (split vertebrae)
22
2 terrestrial tetrapod groups
23
Tetrapods † aquatic tetrapods † semi-terrestrial tetrapods † Lepospondyli Amniotes † Temnospondyli Amphibians Terrestrial tetrapods
24
lobe-fin fish †early tetrapods Lepospondyli Amnoita Temnospondyli Class Amphibia † various dead ends aquatic terrestrial fish tetrapod
25
Some time scale 6 billion years
26
Cenozoic Mesozoic Paleozoic 600 million years
27
Paleozoic Fish Events
28
Paleozoic Tetrapod events (early)
29
Paleozoic Tetrapod events (late)
30
Paleozoic Earth
32
Ordovician terrestrial habitats
33
Devonian terrestrial habitats
34
Carboniferous terrestrial habitats
36
Carboniferous millipede tracks
37
Meganeura Carboniferous dragonfly 75 cm wingspan
38
Permian – cooler and drier
39
Permian Volcanism
40
Devonian – First tetrapods Panderichthys Tiktaalik Acanthostega Ichthyostega
41
Carboniferous – tetrapods diversify and move onto land Pederpes Loxomma Amphibamus Tuditanus
42
Permian – it all almost ends
43
Living on land
44
Pre-adaptations Lungs Limbs
45
Internal choanae Pre-adaptations
46
Support and Movement
47
Fish primitive (terrestrial) tetrapod Terrestrial tetrapods Vertebral innovations
49
Vertebral Column fishes, pre-terrestrial tetrapods
50
Vertebral Column terrestrial tetrapods
51
Terrestrial tetrapods zygapophyses
53
Early Tetrapods Terrestrial Aquatic
54
Limb Girdles
55
Fishes opercular bones present pectoral girdle skull connected *
56
Panderichthys Lobe-finned Fish Tiktaalik Basal tetrapod = “fish-o-pod” Opercular bones lost
57
Vantastega Skull / girdle connection lost
58
Tetrapods have necks
59
