Prehistoric mammal hair found in Cretaceous amber

Palaeontologists have discovered two mammal hairs encased in 100 million-year-old amber. While older 2D fossilised hairs are known, those preserved in the amber are the oldest 3D specimens known. The hairs, found alongside a fly pupa in amber uncovered in southwest France, are remarkably similar to hair found on modern mammals. That implies that the shape and structure of mammal hair has remained unchanged over a vast period of time.

I had chicken tonight, thank god.

We're planning Chinese Hassenpfeffer later in the week.

We knew she likes the turkey's cracked corn, but we had no idea she would go after the wild Hassenpfeffer's cabbage leaves bait.

She was one P.O.ed pussy when I went in & got the camera instead of immediately releasing her.

And how many transitional records have they found?

According to creationists zero.

That's because according to them, every time a critter is found with features and age mid-way between known critters creationists blandly insist that the new critter doesn't fill the gap, but actually creates two new gaps on either side.

Have they found any reptiles with cold blood and feathers?
