From its first appearance in placoderms, the pelvic girdle is exclusively endoskeletal. It arose from pterygiophores, perhaps several times, in support of the fin.[well established][VHOG] EHDAA:7149 pelvic girdle TAO:0000565 VSAO:0000155 VHOG:0000305 EHDAA2:0001426 Wikipedia:Pelvis Skeletal subdivision consisting of a set of bones linking the axial series to the hindlimb zeugopodium and offering anchoring areas for hindlimb and caudal musculature.
