Cool article (but then again, I�m biased).

�Indeed, extant cryptobranchid salamanders can be regarded as living fossils whose structures have remained little changed for more than 160 million years.�

See�see? Living fossils = no evolution! /creationist silliness

�The fossil also shows that the vertebral column and the limbs are not yet formed, and that the animal�s internal gills remain.�

Huh. I thought all salamanders had external gills, whether as larvae or neotonic adults. Any Cryptobranchid experts around? Are internal gills the ancestral trait?
