Erratum #1: The Phantom Tail Fin

The Common Error: Depicting the Mola mola with a large, crescent-shaped tail fin (like a tuna or a mackerel). Why It Happens: Early naturalists, including some 18th-century Dutch painters, assumed the fish’s stubby back end was a result of damage, so they "restored" a forked tail. The Correction (Per the Errata List): The sunfish has no tail. Instead, it has a clavus—a scalloped, rudder-like structure formed by the fusion of dorsal and anal fin rays. It looks less like a fin and more like a flattened, fringed baseball mitt. If your illustration has a distinct, separate lobe for a tail, you have failed the Mola Errata List.
