How would you describe the evolution of amphibians?
It begins with rhipidistian lungfish of the orodivician, and progresses to sarcopterygian lungfish of the silurian. By the devonian there is a "fishapod" known as Tiktaalik. In the carboniferous we find acanthostega and a variety of other amphibians. Finally, in the permian, we discover pelycosaurs and sail backed reptiles--creatures similar in form to the earlier amphibians, but which we do not classify as amphibians. From there terrestrial vertebrate evolution takes off into the triassic with lots of speciation.
