Transitional Fossils - Fish to Amphibians

Transitional Fossils: Fish to Amphibians The following is a small collection of fossils that show the transition between fish and amphibians. This slideshow is in no way comprehensive; nor is it meant to give an in-depth description of each fossil shown and the differences between them. This video is simply intended to illustrate that transitional fossils exist, and are abudant. Note: The fossils in this video are not presented in chronological order.
