摘　　要：A trove of fossils,unearthed in rock from China dating back some 436 million years,has revealed for the first time that the mysterious galeaspids,members of an extinct clade of jawless fish,possessed paired fins.The discovery,by an international team led by Prof.ZHU Min from the Institute of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Palaeoanthropology(IVPP)of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof.Philip Donoghue from the University of Bristol,shows the primitive condition of paired fins before they separated into pectoral and pelvic fins,the forerunner of arms and legs.
