| 1. | There are 6 main criteria for identifying lateral fold growth:
|
| 2. | A lateral fold extends from the eye to the posterior portion of the tympanum.
|
| 3. | Females possess a relatively shallow fur-lined pouch formed by lateral folds of skin.
|
| 4. | The tail ends in a small caudal fin; there are no dorsal fins or lateral folds.
|
| 5. | The skin of these frogs is smooth or finely granulate above, with a narrow glandular lateral fold.
|
| 6. | Therefore, the progressive change in soil profile is more of a secondary evidence of lateral fold growth.
|
| 7. | However, there was little evidence of a lateral fold-to-fin transition in the fossil record.
|
| 8. | The lateral fin-fold theory hypothesized that paired fins developed from lateral folds along the body wall of the fish.
|
| 9. | As former deflected streams, some of the wind gaps may show curvature that convex towards the direction of lateral fold growth.
|
| 10. | The tail measures 86 & ndash; 90 % as long as the disc and has a flattened oval cross-section without lateral folds.
