I heard about this on the radio this morning and thought how cool to discover something like this.
Unfortunately, there is some negative thoughts coming from religious poeple who are anti-evolution. They seem to be taking issue with the claims this is a link between fish and land animals.

Hilarious how the article has a picture of a dig right next to the ocean. "It kind of like, when on land, and died of having no respiratory organs..."

Anyway, has anyone found a good image of the fossil? Cant make anything out in the one in the article.

It was a fish, didn't live on land... Also, the Island wasn't always an island, ever hear of Pangea?

Ever hear of Continental Shift? Did you know Everest use to be underwater and the bottom of the ocean was dry land?

Antartica use to be a lush forest/jungle with frogs and lizards and dinosaurs.

So going "Gee its right next to the ocean, it must of died when it went on land." is stupid. It wasn't on land at the time, it was underwater, just like fossils of dinosaurs are found in Antartica, a place to cold now for cold blooded animals. Of course dinosaurs, some anyways, may have been warm blooded like birds.
