Okamura source

[N.Monks@xxxxxxxxx (Neale Monks)]

Dear All,

Someone has refered to some work by a Japanese scientist called C.Okamura.
Apparently there is some evidence here of vertebrate ancestors in the
Palaeozoic identifiable as modern-looking tetrapods, including mammals, but
a good deal smaller in size (perhaps embryos?).

This sounds a very interesting piece of work, but my correspondant knows
neither the journal nor the date; so I am asking if anyone is aware of this
paper, and whether any work has been done on these specimens since.

Thanks for any help/comments in advance.

Neale.
