Phylum Chordata, Subphylum Vertebrata (Craniata) • Increase in brain size & sensory apparati • Derivation of neural crest • Enclosure of anterior neural tube in cartilage/bone (neural crest derivative) • Subsequent derivation of cartilaginous vertebrae, bony jaws & cranium • Ossification of skeleton & derivation of appendicular skeleton • Two superclasses • Agnatha – without jaws • Gnathostomata – mouth with jaws
Subphylum (group) superclass superclass Vertebrate Cladistics
