    Primitive amphibians had a membrane bone structure similar to bony fishes, including an interclavicle connecting the clavicles to the skull. Modern amphibians have largely lost the dermal pectoral girdle and reverted to a simpler cartilaginous structure, though some bones like the coracoid and parts of the sternum may become ossified in certain groups like frogs.
