摘要	The Early Devonian sarcopterygian Styloichthys changae provides substantial information to resolve the phylogenetic relationships of early sarcopterygians. Its dermal bones show a cosmine surface with relatively large pores and a unique histological condition, which is essential to understanding the early evolution of the dermoskeleton in sarcopterygians. However, more detailed histological information on this taxon is needed. Here, we present new data about the morphology and histology of dermal bones and scales of S. changae based on two semi-articulated specimens. The scales bear parallel ridges and relatively large pores on their external surface resembling those of the dermal bones, showing an intermediate condition between stem sarcopterygians and crown sarcopterygians. We recognize three stages in the growth series of S. changae scales. The growth pattern of the cosmine layer undergoes two significant changes: from a superpositional pattern to a continuous areal pattern and then to a discontinuous areal pattern. In addition, the new data indicate that the pore-canal system predates the enamel-dentine complex of cosmine. This work supports the hypothesis that the cosmine arose step by step in sarcopterygians and provides more details on the evolutionary development pattern of cosmine.
