Description: | Dipterus is a primitive lungfish that was able to breathe air. It probably lived in water that didn't contain much oxygen. The body of this fish was covered with rounded scales, that show up very clearly on this fossil. Dipterus is related to modern lungfish that live in rivers in Africa, Australia and South America. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
