It has a flat skull like a crocodile and scales like a fish. It is the only
fish to have a neck, wrists and bones similar to fingers. 

It may eventually become as much an "evolutionary icon" as the flying
dino-bird Archaeopteryx, says a commentary accompanying the two Nature
reports on the fossil find.
