Have muscular limbs with well-defined joints and digits (fingers and toes). Certain cranial (head) bones have been lost, permitting the head to move relative to the body, unlike other sarcopterygians.  Not all stegocephalians were terrestrial - some of early representatives were probably aquatic. The earliest known fossils are from the Upper Devonian of east Greenland.
