Figure 26 in Devonian actinopterygian phylogeny and evolution based on a redescription of Stegotrachelus finlayi

Figure 26. Flank scales posterior to the supracleithrum in specimen BMNH P.13410. The ventrally sloping anterior ridges do not truncate the transverse ornamentation like in Cuneognathus and Limnomis (Daeschler, 2000; Friedman & Blom, 2006). Instead, the ornament is similar to Dialipina (Schultze, 1992) including anterior ridges that bend and orientate about the rostrocaudal axis. Specimen in left lateral view. Scale bar = 2 mm.
