Juvenile specimens of Eusthenopteron foordi Whiteaves, 1881 (osteolepiform rhipidistian, Pisces) from the Late Devonian of Miguasha, Quebec, Canada
Abstract
A size series of thirty-five specimens of Eusthenopteron foordi Whiteaves, 1881, shows isometric and allometric changes. As in Recent fishes, the main difference between small (juvenile) and large (adult) specimens is the relative size of the orbit and of the head. The large relative decrease of the orbit diameter from 31% to 12–7% of head length (b = 0.632) explains the positive allometric growth of bones surrounding the orbit, i.e., the change from a palaeoniscoid-like juvenile to a typical rhipidistian with an elongated postorbital region. With the exception of the caudal prolongation, all fin positions remain isometric to standard length.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
