In fact we still have examples of just about every single species that has walked on earth except for the dinosaurs.

Breathtakingly silly, even for you. There have been several 90 percent-of-all-species extinctions. (Two of them frame the Mesozoic.) And the term "Dinosaur" isn't a species, it's two whole orders of reptiles containing probably thousands of species.

Your typical fossil, plant or animal, is something extinct. No more trilobites, ammonites, anomalocarids, any of those Vendian fauna (Spriggina, Hallucigenia, etc.) No more Pleistocene megafauna. No more synapsid reptiles. No more australopithecines. No more Caudipteryx, Archaeopteryx, Sinornithosaurus, Sinosauropteryx. No more Hyracotherium/eohippus. And the fossils of modern mammals and birds don't go very far down in the sediments. Especially genus Homo.

Another just flat wrong gore3000 propaganda blast.

A jawbone is not a species. Evolutionists play very fast and loose with the term species. We have examples of fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, all sorts of plants, all sorts of microscopic creatures also. All these have shown very little or no change since their first discovery. The only major categore we have no examples of are the dinosaurs as I have said, and that is why we know so little about them. Bones don't tell us beans and the numerous fragments which you and evolutionists call species tell us even less. Did dinosaurs have mammary glands? What evidence (not evolution says, I mean real honest too goodness evidence do we have) that they either did or they did not? None at all. Oh, and one more thing, the only true definition of species is that the individuals could not mate and produce fertile young with each other. What proof do you have that those bones could not produce young with existing species?????????????????????
