This morning on the AP wire is a report of the discovery of a creature
which is transitional between two groups of modern tetrapods
(mammals/lizards/birds/turtles) and (frogs/salamanders). This 333 myr old
fossil is transtional between the two groups ie. shows traits from both
groups. The creature is named

eucritta melanolimneties which means 'true creature from the black lagoon'.

This is a bit difficult to get to here is how I do it. Goto
