So cool! That cleared and stained dolphin is incredible.
Plenty more gecko embryos where this came from!
#GeckoEvoDevo
Part of an embryonic series of the mourning gecko (Lepidodactylus lugubris). Earlier stage embryos are in the top left corner with later stages descending to the bottom right corner.

Here is the 2025 embryo alphabet from alligator to zebrafish. Developmental biology is stunning & leads to important discoveries for human medicine.

You might search using German word bec I’m sure it is earlier than 1900. From translate app: Gliedmaßenknospe

OED says The earliest known use of the noun limb-bud is in the 1900s.

OED's earliest evidence for limb-bud is from 1906, in the writing of G. R. Satterlee.
