What about this miniscule and fragmentary portion of the fossil record where evolutionists have been forced to spend so much of their time & energy?
If Fred's claim is true, why is it that universities otherwise not known for turning out paleontologists frequently send their geology undergrads through invertebrate paleo courses?
In checking undergraduate course catalogs of local universities, I found that the only paleo course one offers is invertebrate paleo. Another university offers general paleo courses but also offers a micropaleo specialty course, but no specialty vertebrate paleo courses.
The third university I checked offers a specialty invert paleo course and a course that combines plant and vert paleo.
The fourth has a general paleo, plant paleo, and dinosaur paleo.
My conclusion is that non-vertebrate paleontology is generally being stressed more than vertebrate paleo.
