analogous structure



           The specimen is a shark dorsal fin and dolphin dorsal fin. They were both found at Sea world, and they are analogous structures. They're analogous structures because the fins are very similar to each other yet they come from different ancestors. Analogous structures are structures of different species that has similar or corresponding function, but they're not from the same evolutionary origin.
