The 19 pages that link to Coelacanth, each with the reason it gives.

• Ray-finned fishCompared with: Its fleshy paired fins illustrate the alternative lobe-finned condition.

• TiktaalikCompared with: Coelacanths are living lobe-finned fishes, not close stand-ins for the fish-to-tetrapod transition.

• TeleostCompared with: Their paired fins have fleshy lobes, unlike the fin rays typical of teleosts.

• SarcopterygiiBroader topic: Coelacanths are a surviving sarcopterygian branch distinct from lungfish and tetrapods.

• CryptozoologyCompared with: Its discovery demonstrates that unexpected survival is possible, but required a verifiable specimen.

• Living fossilBroader topic: Its fossil relatives were known long before living coelacanths were discovered in 1938.

• TeleosteiCompared with: They illustrate a surviving bony-fish lineage outside both teleosts and tetrapods.

• Lobe-finned fishBroader topic: Its paired fins have lobes, but do not function as walking limbs.

• LungfishCompared with: Coelacanths are the other living non-tetrapod branch of lobe-finned fishes.

• Bony fishBroader topic: Their survival offers a living example of an ancient branch of bony fishes.

• Celebes SeaRelated: Coelacanths have been recorded in Indonesian waters near the Celebes Sea.

• ComorosRelated: The waters near Grande Comore became famous for modern coelacanth discoveries.

• GnathostomataBroader topic: Coelacanths preserve a distinctive living branch of lobe-finned jawed vertebrates.

• History of paleontologyRelated: Its 1938 rediscovery challenged assumptions drawn from an apparently vanished fossil lineage.

• Bernard HeuvelmansCompared with: Its rediscovery shows that an animal believed extinct can survive, a possibility central to Heuvelmans’s arguments.

• MawsoniaNarrower topic: Mawsonia belongs to this lineage, whose anatomy helps identify its fossils.

• West Indian Ocean coelacanthNarrower topic: The West Indian Ocean coelacanth is one of the two living species in this fish group.

• Evolution of fishBroader topic: Living coelacanths preserve a branch with a long fossil history, though not unchanged since ancient times.

• Indonesian coelacanthNarrower topic: The Indonesian coelacanth is one of the two living members of this lineage.
