  Well, my use of the term "dermal" was misplace. The element is
endochondral rather than dermal in nature, and represents one of the few
truly endochondral elements of the pectoral/postcranial girdle in
osteichthyans, including tetrapods and amniotes.

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
