What features of the elpistostegalid fishes lead us to infer that they were shallow-water forms?
What will be an ideal response?
The elpistostegalid fishes were dorsoventrally flattened (with the loss of the dorsal and anal fins); they had long snouts, perhaps indicating snapping in air rather than suction in water; and they had a powerful upper arm bone (humerus), indicating that they could prop their front end out of the water.
