A Frogamander!

Howdy! For those that are interested, check out this National Geographic post on a new, 290 million year old amphibian they think may be the missing link in that particular family tree.

So, nifty stuff! I know NatGeo doesn't always publish the "newest" of materials, but I hadn't read this on before.

That's a new one! Well not really since they found it in 95, but the paper is new!

Now if we could only find a turlemander we'd be all set!

Yeah, NatGeo doesn't always publish new stuff...but at least the paper's new. :)

I thought I'd heard of this a while ago.
