Interpretive boundary and uncertainty
AI-assisted interpretive reconstruction — not a specimen photograph, scale drawing or direct evidence.
The image does not directly show the pectoral fin's internal skeleton. Dorsal-fin and tail-fin outlines, skin, colour, pose and environment are interpretive; no fingers, land walking or direct ancestry are claimed.
