yes tiktallik is a vetebrate
Because at the time of Tiktaalik's experience (approximately 375 million years ago) in the Ellesmere Island was experiencing tropical climate.
It depends on your definition of what it means to "walk". From fossil evidence we know that Tiktaalik favored shallow habitats close to land and that it could very easily support itself against the force of gravity. So it is at least conceivable that Tiktaalik was capable of pulling itself up and out of the water when it needed to. But whether you would call this "walking" is a matter of definition.With this provision in mind... Was Tiktaalik one of the first fish to amble in some manner on land? Quite possibly, yes.
Tiktaalik, once touted as a proven ''missing link" is now regarded as an evolutionary ''dead end'', thanks to the recent discovery in Poland of tetropod tracks dated some 18Ma years older.
Regardless of the presumed relationship to tiktaalik, you will find gill slits to be present in all vertebrates. In reptiles, the slits would not persist past the embryonic stage but, the crocodiles' jaws were derived from the gill arches. Look up "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny."
Key finds, especially if they are rare specimen, are not usually themselves put on public display. Rather, casts are made and distributed to researchers and musea around the world, while the fossils themselves are kept secure in laboratoria and archives, in a controlled climate. Casts of Tiktaalik may be found in various natural history musea, such as the Harvard Museum of Natural History.
Tiktaalik's fin bones were not connected to its main skeleton, and so could not have supported its weight out of water. And the similarity between species could also reflect common design. Answer Isn't the modern mudskipper evidence enough? Answer No. Recent discovery of the prints of a four-footed animal that dates in evolutionary terms at 18 million years earlier than Tiktaalik have forced scientists to reconsider their earlier assumption that Tiktaalik represented a missing link. Answer Tiktaalik serves as simply another transitional form linking the evolution between two groups of animals, akin to Archaeopteryx. It has become landmark but more work remains to be done. As new fossils are uncovered Tiktaalik will be likely be moved around the evolutionary tree.
wats up. this is Jason and Justin from trask middle and Eaton elementary. you cant stop me baby in dj hero. if you think u can your a stupid reject!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
