Examples

“Cladistians (bichirs) are yet another taxon whose phylogenetic position has been much debated since the nineteenth century. 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.”
