Porolepiformes is an order of prehistoric lobe-finned fish which lived during the Devonian period. They are thought to represent the sister group to lungfish. The group contains two families: Holoptychiidae and Porolepididae. Porolepiformes was established by the Swedish paleontologist Erik Jarvik, and were thought to have given rise to the salamanders and caecilians independently of the other tetrapods. He based this conclusion on the shapes of the snouts of the aforementioned groups. This view
