Is this the "transitional species" you were asking about?

The state rests.

Update 2:

Yes, my link was missing, here's the right one.

Yes, I understand that all species are "transitional", but thank you.

    There have been several fossils mistaken as being "transitional fossils" yet none of them have been truly credible. I would have to wait for further research before calling it a transitional fossil.

    The link doesn't work but I know what you're referencing to.

    Now we're talking, intelligent design by the goddess. Lose the tail and stand up, make up a bogus religion and get them all marching in a line.

    We hate to think we evolved from monkeys or chimps, I prefer to think we evolved from cute little lemurs and rascally polecats.

    There is no such thing as a "transitional species" or "transitional fossil" because -ALL- animals, species, fossils, etc, are transitional.

    Every single living thing is a transitional species between their parents and their offspring.

    I saw it too. The missing link. The Creationists are to deluded to see it though.

    If you are trying to disprove evolution by a link that doesn't work you are doing a fine job of showing that you are clueless.

    It's "transitional fossil" and all fossils are transitional.

    btw,you didn't post the link right.
