Fossil watch


Jay Edwards August 24th, 2011  

In his letter, “Fuel for fossil debate” (Letters, July 27, Gazette), the Rev. Steve Kern says, “Evolution predicts there should be thousands of intermediate fossils that have come and gone to support their simple to complex gradualism. They are not there.”

Here is a partial list of transitional fossils: Pikaia, Conodont, Haikouichthys, Arandaspis, Birkenia, Guiyu, Cladoselache, Tristychius, Ctenacanthus, Paleospinax, Spathobatis, Protospinax, Acanthodians, Palaeoniscoids, Canobius, Aeduella, Parasemionotus, Oreochima, Leptolepids, Amphistium, Heteronectes, Paleoniscoids, Osteolepis, Eusthenopteron, Sterropterygion, Panderichthys, Elpistostege, Obruchevichthys, Tiktaalik, Acanthostega, Ichthyostega, Hynerpeton, Labyrinthodonts, Lungfish and Temnospondyls.
