What is another word for lobefin?
Pronunciation: [lˈə͡ʊbfɪn] (IPA) 
Lobefin refers to a group of fishes that have a muscular fleshy lobe or fin-like projection on their body. These fishes are also known as Sarcopterygii, and they are considered the most primitive type of fishes. They include species such as lungfishes and coelacanths. Although the term lobefin is widely used, there are other synonyms to describe these organisms. These synonyms include "fleshy finned," "lobe-finned," and "sarcopterygian." All these words refer to the same group of fishes. As our understanding of these ancient fishes continues to evolve, we may expect to hear more descriptive terms to refer to them.
