Are dorsal fin fold, anal fin fold, and caudal fin fold develops_from median fin fold, or are they anatomical regions with part_of median fin fold.

From JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY (MOL DEV EVOL) 294:77–90 (2002) Mabee et. al.

In Phase 2, each of the presumptive median fins is positioned along the anterior to posterior axis of the finfold. As the fins develop, the finfold degenerates.

makes it sound as if the dorsal fin fold, anal fin fold, and caudal fin fold are regions of the medial not distinct fin folds but we need to check.

Do we need presumptive region terms to accommodate staging?
