Use the photo and fossil of this specimen (they are from the same species that was an ancestor to a modern class of tetrapods) to answer the following: What class of tetrapod would you predict this specimen belongs to? What features of the body make it resemble the class you provided? What MAJOR ABILITY would this specimen lack that the class above would have? What is the name of this type ancestral specimen?
