Is THIS transitional enough for you.
Posted in Eli's Blog on November 26th, 2008 by Eli – Comments OffOver on Panda’s Thumb they’ve got a great little write up on a Triassic fossil found in china. It is that of Odontochelys, a clear mid-point between turtles and reptiles. The thing has reptile-like teeth and broad flat ribs as well as belly armor, but no shell on it’s back. Not quite a crocoduck, but a “lizurtle” (turtizard?, oh I like that, sounds like a pokemon… tutrizard! I choose you!) to be sure. I’ll be having Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron eating their hats now please.
Oh, this one’s originally posed by PZ Myers, so I’m sure you’ll find they information on pharyngula as well.
There is a nother nice write-up on Not Exactly Rocket Science.
