Thank you Wyoming!

Some enterprising young scientists from the University of Chicago have found a fossil that fills a gap in the body of knowledge surrounding the development of limbs. Read it here. What I really like about the find is that, being another coelacanth fossil, you can compare it to the fossils previously discovered and illustrate the significance of it to the lay person. There is nothing better than an easily understood physical example to get the public to an comprehensive understanding of evolution. Yay for transitional forms.
