The skeleton of Puijila darwini was astonishingly well preserved. Found in 2007 during an expedition to Devon Island in Nunavut, Canada, it was about 65% complete, and gives a good view of pinniped limb evolution.

would have walked on land and swum in fresh water.

Astounding deduction.

Oh please, not another "missing link" fairy tale. First there were the horse ancestors, touted then discredited, then the ape family tree, then the whales... when are these guys going to give it up? Huxley's private letters admitted 150 years ago their Achilles heel was the lack of a fossil record for this nonsense. There should be millions of missing links, and now they're crowing about finding one, yet again, which will eventually be proven to link nothing, yet again? The MET Faithful even named this one after Darwin, no doubt a defiant statement of their passionate faith.

I'm sure they'll get funding, though, to spend years studying this "missing link" before the inevitable admission. We've seen this play before.
