Note: This historical image is not a factually accurate paleontological restoration.

Reason: Outdated reconstruction with vertically arranged frontal appendages (laterally arranged according to Bergström 1986) and seperated gills (dorsally attached to body flaps according to Budd & Daley 2011). See source for details.
