That's pretty cool. More evidence of evolution (as if it needed more).
When I first saw your article header I was thinking of the dolphin species
sighted by naturalists that had two dorsal fins. They still remain unknown
officially, but are almost sure to exist given the credible sightings. And
since schools of them have been sighted, it can't just be a mutation. It's
amazing how many new dolphin and whale species are still discovered even
nowadays. Many large species are only know by the occassional skeleton.

All dolphins have 4 "fins".
The two "hands", and the tail flukes that evolved from feet.
The specimen in the photo seems to have moved the usual large tail
flukes forward a bit, and shrunk them.
Quite how it manages to propel itself is the mystery.
It would not make sense to assume that a dolphin could have an EXTRA
pair of fins at the rear, in addition to the tail flukes.
That would make 6 limbs, and would be effectively "impossible" to have
evolved in the short time since dolphins split off from land dwelling
quadrupeds.

This is wrong. The tail flukes of cetaceans are definitely a
development of the tail. All cetaceans start to develop hind limbs at
the embryo stage but the relevant HOX genes in the hind limb tissue are
turned off at an early stage of development. The limb buds atrophy and
disappear before birth. If the regulatory mechanism malfunctions it is
possible that the hind limbs would continue to develop. The bottom line
is that they have the genes necessary to grow hind limbs but these
genes normally get shut down early in development. It is possible that
some other essential development occurs along with the early growth of
the limb buds, so there is selection pressure not to lose these genes
completely. It may be that what happenned in the case here is that a
mutation has blocked the regulatory gene that normally shuts down the
hind limb growth and through drift or some unknown selection pressure
has become fixed in a particular population of Dolphins.

Oh, thanks for that correction.

That's a fluke!

Just by a cursory examination of a picture of a skeleton here, but it

hind legs. (Just guessing based on two things - a picture of the
skeleton, and a knowledge of icthyosaurs, which went through almost the

The normal dolphin tail structure is present, and is visible in the

All dolphins have 4 "fins".
The two "hands", and the tail flukes that evolved from feet.
The specimen in the photo seems to have moved the usual large tail
flukes forward a bit, and shrunk them.
Quite how it manages to propel itself is the mystery.
It would not make sense to assume that a dolphin could have an EXTRA
pair of fins at the rear, in addition to the tail flukes.
That would make 6 limbs, and would be effectively "impossible" to have
evolved in the short time since dolphins split off from land dwelling
quadrupeds.
I smell something "fishy"...
Just by a cursory examination of a picture of a skeleton here, but it
appears that the tail flukes simply evolved from the tail, not from
hind legs. (Just guessing based on two things - a picture of the
skeleton, and a knowledge of icthyosaurs, which went through almost the
exact same evolutionary path, and ended up that way.
You could be right.
But I still smell something fishy.
Look at the photos in the article.
Can you see a tail?
Or is it just a fluke?
Vertical stab.....
You said that on porpoise.
Don't get in a flap about it.
Sonar, yet so far.

That's pretty cool. More evidence of evolution (as if it needed more).
When I first saw your article header I was thinking of the dolphin species
sighted by naturalists that had two dorsal fins. They still remain unknown
officially, but are almost sure to exist given the credible sightings. And
since schools of them have been sighted, it can't just be a mutation. It's
amazing how many new dolphin and whale species are still discovered even
nowadays. Many large species are only know by the occassional skeleton.

I smell something "fishy"...
Just by a cursory examination of a picture of a skeleton here, but it
appears that the tail flukes simply evolved from the tail, not from
hind legs. (Just guessing based on two things - a picture of the
skeleton, and a knowledge of icthyosaurs, which went through almost the
exact same evolutionary path, and ended up that way.
You could be right.
But I still smell something fishy.
Look at the photos in the article.
Can you see a tail?
Or is it just a fluke?
Vertical stab.....
You said that on porpoise.
Don't get in a flap about it.
Sonar, yet so far.
Proper bouyancy is a fin line.
Got a bottle in front of your nose again?
I'm beginning to harbour pacific thoughts.
There's several drag nets out for you.
I sea... you think I'm gill-tea?
You think that I fell for your little cod-game hook, line and sinker?
I'll take it all the way to the Seapreme Court!
Officer O'Cean will sea to that.
The gaff got yer flounderin' after the har poon 'n the bald section of
the reef. An' they tossed your tail fins into the reefer they did.
A reefer you say, Jim lad?
Well spliff me skiff, an' shiver me cinders!
An' I never blunted the har-poon tang.
'Twas some other salty sea dog.
The rock salt implicated you.
Well, that's yer Lot!
Yer, best ta pay the Trent.
