It consisted of basal elements and packed radicals that supported the fins. In more evolved sharks, the basal components of the pectoral and pelvis girdles stretched across the midline of the body to bond into a “U” shaped scapulocoracoid and puboischiac bars. The earliest chondrichthyans show that there is no connection between the dermal contributions to the shoulder girdle. Today’s sharks have three enlarged pterygiophores at the base of its pectoral fins called metapteryguim, mesopteryguim and propteryguim. The metapteryguim part within the pelvic fin consists of a postaxial series, with one long element supporting
