Abstract
For the first time, new material of one of the world's oldest known tetrapods,Acanthostega, has been studied in its sedimentological context. The reported evidence suggests thatAcanthostegawas primarily aquatic and inhabited active fluvial channels in fluvial‐dominated environments.Keywords
