A multilocus, fossil-calibrated ray-finned-fish tree recovers living gars and bowfin together as Holostei. The result supports sampled holostean topology; its node age is model-dependent and not a direct fossil origin date.

A sampled multilocus, fossil-calibrated tree supporting Holostei; dates remain model estimates.
Claim ledger
The bundled broad fish clock and Salmonidae topology do not directly support the former 56 Ma–present Salmoniformes display; an order-specific fossil or clock locator is required, so the range is withheld.
claim:taxon:salmoniformes:range-boundaryLiving-gar sampling and a calibrated Holostei node do not directly support the former 201.4 Ma–present Lepisosteiformes range; an order-specific occurrence synthesis is required, so the display is withheld.
