- W3129396802 abstract "Abstract Here we describe the postcranial skeleton and present the first full-body reconstruction of the early tetrapod Whatcheeria deltae from the Viséan of Iowa. The skeletal proportions, including an elongate neck and large limbs, are unlike those of other Devonian and Mississippian tetrapods. The robust limbs of Whatcheeria appear adapted for a walking gait, but the lateral lines of the cranium are fundamentally unsuited for sustained subaerial exposure. Thus, although Whatcheeria bears a general resemblance to certain terrestrially adapted Permian and Triassic members of crown tetrapod lineages, its unusual form signals a broader range of early amphibious morphologies and habits than previously considered. From the exceptionally rich collection it is evident that most Whatcheeria specimens represent immature individuals. Rare specimens suggest an adult body size of at least 2 m, over twice that of the holotype. Further comparison suggests that the Pederpes holotype might also be a juvenile and reveals a combination of hindlimb characters unique to Whatcheeria and Pederpes. These new data contribute to a revised diagnosis of the family Whatcheeriidae and a re-evaluation of fragmentary Devonian–Carboniferous fossils reported as ‘whatcheeriid’ but sharing no synapomorphies with the more precisely defined clade." @default.
