As I just got word from PhysOrg, Coturnix and Carl Zimmer (read Carl Zimmer's post, excellent background story!), creationists were just handed yet another victory: the number of gaps in the fossil record has just increased by one. A paper by Matt Friedman in the current issue of Nature details how he has found that some long catalogued and archived fossil fish actually represent a formidable transitional species halfway in-between a 'normal' fish and a flounder (a bottom-dwelling flatfish). The evidence is fantastic, see here for an example:

"So what?" you might say, "the fossil record is abound with transitional fossils!" Of course you are right, but creationists love every new discovery of transitional fossils, because then scientists have a real problem. In this case, the problem is not only one missing link but two: the missing link between 'normal' and the intermediate fossils as well as the one between the intermediate and the flatfish species of today - hooray!

As of this writing, Uncommon Descent doesn not have an entry on this research, yet, but I'll venture you'll have one, soon
