Move Over, Archaeopteryx

Posted by michael on from the tastes-like-chicken dept.

Reedo writes "The clearest evidence ever of the missing link between dinosaurs and birds has been found in a newly discovered "feathered" fossil in northeastern China, claim scientists. The specimen was found embedded in a large slab of rock, in what scientists think was a former lake or pond."

    But if that crappy picture is the 'clearest link,' I'm going to go ahead and score this round for the Creationists. I'm all about Darwin, Evolution and the like. But that picture looked like an ice cream cone thrown at a windshield.

    Nova had a thing on about two weeks ago discussing what was purpoted to the the True Missing Link fossil, found in Greeland. What happened to that?

    But you know what *they* say, if it looks too good to be true....
    Smells of the archaeopteryx affair again.
