- Finally, Jarvik investigated the anatomy of " Ichthyostega ", resulting in a monograph with an extensive photographic documentation of the material collected in 1929-1955.
- Swedish paleontologist Erik Jarvik, a member of the 1947 expedition, could not assign the skull to either " Ichthyostega " or " Acanthostega ".
- While the skull shape is closest to " Ichthyostega ", the teeth are smaller, more numerous and less curved, indicating the two exploited different foods.
- Although both were essentially four-footed fish, Ichthyostega is the earliest known tetrapod that may have had the ability to pull itself onto land and drag itself forward with its forelimbs.
- Tetrapodomorphs used their bodies and tails for locomotion and their fins for steering and braking; " Ichthyostega " may have used its forelimbs for locomotion on land and its tail for swimming.
- In the " Acanthostega " and " Ichthyostega ", which are considered to be more derived than other basal aquatic tetrapods, the pectoral girdle is decoupled from the skull.
- It does however show that " Ichthyostega " may have ventured onto land on occasions, unlike the very first tetrapods such as " Elginerpeton " and " Obruchevichthys ".
- Various foramina on the humeral surfaces are very similar to those seen in " Ichthyostega ", " Acanthostega ", and lobe-finned fishes like " Eusthenopteron ".
- Early tetrapods like " Ichthyostega " and " Acanthostega " differed from earlier tetrapodomorphs such as " Eusthenopteron " or " Panderichthys " in their increased adaptations for life on land.
- He has also analysed the basic structure of the paired limbs by comparing the pectoral and pelvic fins of the " Eusthenopteron " with the hindleg of the Devonian tetrapod " Ichthyostega " and embryonic humans.
