"Still no example of one fossil transitioning into another."

Do you even accept that fossils can be identified as transitional?

If not then you are wasting everyones time by asking for fossil examples that you are always, no matter what they look like, going to say they aren't transitional.

If you do accept transitional fossils can be identified then what characteristics do you think would show beyond doubt that a fossil is transitional?

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winnah!

Step One: Claim that something reasonably to be expected in the fossil record is lacking and scientists are in a panic to explain why it isn't there. If that slides unchallenged, you win. If challenged, go to Step Two.

Step Two: Fossils seeming to show transitions don't mean anything.
