Olduvai George does it again: another gorgeous, art-filled post on ancient and modern crocodiles, including a reconstruction of the recently discovered Triassic Effigia.
Pharyngula
Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal
Effigia was the subject of a Stephen Colbert rant the other night — how it disproves evolution, yadda yadda — and BTW, the fossil was dug up by someone called Colbert. Amusing as usual.
Dude, those are rad pics! The old “crocs as living fossils” chestnut is just blown out of the water by finds like these.
As mentioned before, the “Hox Cluster Disintegration” link does not seem to be working correctly…
But the croc illustrations are indeed delicious!
Oh how I love the drawings Olduvai George posts! They’re truly awesome.
