I'm arguing with a doubting Thomas of evolution who wants to see pictures of transitional fossils and not just descriptions of them. Where can I find such pictures?

You can start on this thread.

James Hamlin · 04-09-2003, 03:44 PM

Yes, I noticed that one.

I'm really not that lazy. I'm talking bony fish to amphibian to reptile to mammal transitional. I've searched google and looked through talkorigins but have only found a few sporadic photos. Thanks for the help, though.

Sorry for such self-centered posts that don't contribute much, but I figured tht this is the best place to ask this.

You silly! Don't you realize that these were all special creations of God? The similarities are obviously evidence of a common Designer. These pictures are one more proof of the Intelligent Design Theory!

don't flame me...it's a joke

Well, excuuuse me!

Here's two other examples:

Transitional Fossils Leading to Orbulina

A Smooth Fossil Transition: Foraminifera

I hope you haven't noticed those.

there's some other stuff which might be useful aswell.

Also see Devonian Times and Jennifer Clack's homepage. Her book, Gaining Ground, also is loaded with pictures detailed enough to make your ectopterygoid bones ache.

Ah, there we go. Great resources! Thanks for those links all, they are sure to help.

While the Dinobirds exhibit is still on at the NHM in London, there are some pictures on the NHM site. Not sure if they'll still be there when the exhibit closes.
