Canowindra (fish)
''Canowindra'' is a prehistoric lobe-finned fish which lived during the Late Devonian Geological period, period (about 374 to 359 million years ago). The genus is known from only a single well preserved specimen, dubbed ''Canowindra grossi'', after Walter R. Gross, Professor Walter Gross, who spent his career studying lobe-finned fish, and after the Australian town in which it was found, Canowindra#Fossils, Canowindra. ''Canowindra grossi'' was apparently comparatively small in size (about 50 cm) and belongs to the family of Canowindridae.

Marsdenichthys
''Marsdenichthys'' is an extinct genus of Devonian tetrapodomorph. Fossils have been found from Mount Howitt in Victoria, Australia from strata that are Givetian-Frasnian in age. Mount Howitt is an important site that has been the source of many tetrapodomorph fossils, including ''Beelarongia'' and '' Howittichthys'', both of which were first described from the locality. ''Marsdenichthys'' was first named in 1985 on the basis of material collected from Mount Howitt. The genus was initially described as a member of the family Eusthenopteridae (now known as the Tristichopteridae), the first known from the southern hemisphere. However, the classification of ''Marsdenichthys'' within Tetrapodomorpha has often been debated and there is not yet a consensus on the exact phylogenetic relationships of the genus. Classification When it was originally described as a tristichopterid by Long (1985), ''Marsdenichthys'' was considered to be the basalmost member of the family, based on suc ...

Devonian
The Devonian ( ) is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic era, spanning 60.3 million years from the end of the Silurian, million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Carboniferous, Mya. It is named after Devon, England, where rocks from this period were first studied. The first significant adaptive radiation of life on dry land occurred during the Devonian. Free-sporing vascular plants began to spread across dry land, forming extensive forests which covered the continents. By the middle of the Devonian, several groups of plants had evolved leaves and true roots, and by the end of the period the first seed-bearing plants appeared. The arthropod groups of myriapods, arachnids and hexapods also became well-established early in this period, after starting their expansion to land at least from the Ordovician period. Fish reached substantial diversity during this time, leading the Devonian to often be dubbed the Age of Fishes. The placoderms began dominating ...

Cladogram
A cladogram (from Greek ''clados'' "branch" and ''gramma'' "character") is a diagram used in cladistics to show relations among organisms. A cladogram is not, however, an evolutionary tree because it does not show how ancestors are related to descendants, nor does it show how much they have changed, so many differing evolutionary trees can be consistent with the same cladogram. A cladogram uses lines that branch off in different directions ending at a clade, a group of organisms with a last common ancestor. There are many shapes of cladograms but they all have lines that branch off from other lines. The lines can be traced back to where they branch off. These branching off points represent a hypothetical ancestor (not an actual entity) which can be inferred to exhibit the traits shared among the terminal taxa above it. This hypothetical ancestor might then provide clues about the order of evolution of various features, adaptation, and other evolutionary narratives about ance ...
