Muscle maps.

Right pectoral (A–D) and pelvic (E–H) appendages of Neoceratodus (A,B,E,F) and Latimeria (C,D,G,H) in dorsal (A,C,E,G) and ventral (B,D,F,H) views. Note that the use of similar colors in the pectoral and pelvic muscles does not indicate ancestral serial homology between the structures of these paired appendages, but instead the result of derived similarity (see text).
