Umm... and aren't phyla aggregates of classes?  So wouldn't a
comparison of traits of fish and certain mammals be comparisons
spanning an entire phylum?

Anyway.  What's your point?  Do you think that fish fins and seal
flippers have anything to tell us in this discussion of the
dinosaur/bird nexus?

How about insect wings and bird wings?  Hey, they're both in the same
