Cladistians share some unique skeletal characters with actinopterans (i.e., acipenseriformes and neopterygians), such as the ganoid scale structure or the acrodin cap on teeth, and numerous soft-tissue characters, notably in brain development (everted telencephalon) and muscles of the jaw and gill arches.
