Claim

No unambiguous transitional fossils have been found between amphibians and reptiles. Distinguishing transitionals between these two groups is problematical because their bone structures are similar. Just because it is hard to tell whether a fossil is reptile or amphibian doesn't mean it is transitional between the two.

Responses

  1. Family Diadectidae, Eryops
  2. Reptiles are not descended from modern-day amphibians ("Lissamphibia"), rather the two groups arose from a common temnospondyl amphibian ancestor sometime during the late Devonian or early Carboniferous.
