So, very early mammals are remarkably like modern beavers? This creature, with:

a full mammalian pelt,
with guard hairs and under fur, and
scales on the tail like a modern beaver
Warm-blooded metabolism
webbed feet,
limbs and broad flat tail are adapted for swimming, and
teeth specialized for catching fish

pretty much popped out fully formed (punctuated equilibrium) and 164 million years of evolution has resulted in relatively minor changes since then?

This find is leaving paleontologists “shaken” but (of course) is causing no questions to be asked about the Theory of Evolution.

lol and lol and lol

You clearly don't understand. It must have evolved quickly, because if it were designed the implications are just tooo unacceptable.

lol and lol and lol.

Crocodiles also havent changed much, and neither have sharks. Or trees or bacteria.

Its behaviour may have changed, or its genetics, but that doesnt remain in a fossil that old.

pretty much popped out fully formed…

On what do you base that conclusion?
