New sites for Cambrian fossils are revealing new species and details of known species. Exciting times.

Well, the ones hoping for that rabbit, are not actually doing any of the science.

Yep. It would also spur a flurry of research trying to understand how the rabbit managed to evolve in a world without any land plants or any obvious ancestors. What interests me is that organisms completely new to science are being discovered in these deposits and that even in these early times of complex life there were already complex interconnected ecosystems.

This is a thread in the Links and Information Forum", so not really the place for discussion about what seems to me to be unrelated except for the mention of "Cambrian." I tend to dismiss books and articles that mention "Velikovskian global cataclysms" since reading some of Velikovsky's books back in maybe the '70s. I suspect it will indeed be seen as pseudo science. That's how I see it anyway. If you want to discuss this I suggest you propose a new topic.

Well, I think a larger and mistaken assumption is you assuming that we are assuming that. We are well aware that exposed strata deposited in many periods is rare.
I figured it was going to get complicated and suggested starting a new topic.
I said there were no land plants, and I based that on fossil evidence of the emergence of vascular plants at the beginning of the Silurian Period.
Perhaps you missed the part where I posted a link to an article about all the new fossils being discovered Message 1?
I wasn't joking. You jumped around semi-coherently in Message 9 in way that reminded me of people who are high.
What the hell does this even mean?
The geological record shows rapid evolution of new species from the survivors after major extinction events.
What is a vexing problem is why should there be intermediary links between present-day species? Are you saying that there are no transitional fossils? Or are you saying that there should be some kind of links between living species and that there should be some different link between fossil species?
And you continue bouncing around until:

ok.

Maybe even intelligent plants.

Yes, and it was very embarrassing, thanks so much for pointing it out in front of the whole world on the internet.

You are mistaken if you think that I am saying that "no evolution happened on land in Cambrians times." I am saying that we have found no fossils of vascular plants in Cambrian strata. And just so you know exactly what I am saying, I am saying that we have found no fossils of vascular plants in Cambrian strata.
I am not assuming "that there were no land animals in the Cambrian times." I am saying that we have not found any fossils of land animals in Cambrian strata.
So? Is anyone saying that?
Yes, your assumptions about what I said are incorrect. In Message 12 I said:
I more narrowly defined what I meant by "land plants" as "vascular plants." We have found no Cambrian fossils of vascular plants that grew on land. I will add that I am also unaware of fossil pollen, spores or seeds of vascular land plants found in any Cambrian deposits. These sorts of trace fossils are found in later sediments deposited when vascular plants arose, and pretty much continuously ever since. We have found no fossils of modern vertebrates or any kind of mammal whatsoever in Cambrian strata (which would have to eat either other animals or vascular plants... and yes I remember that Caribou eat moss). Look, the fossils we are finding in Cambrian deposits are exciting and are continuing to train young scientists. Speculating about "out of sequence fossils" that have never been found and carrying on pointless discussions about something that we don't know anything about is not something I want to waste my time on. I think there are plenty of exciting and interesting discussions to be had with all our actual discoveries so far. If you want to speculate or have a discussion about what sorts of things we might find in the future, based on what we have found so far, start a thread. Try predicting what sorts of organisms we might find in the next new discovery that is just a bit older than what we have found so far or in strata that is just a bit younger. Scientists have already successfully applied that technique. see Tiktaalik What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

And when I realized that you were not thinking "vascular plants" when I said "land plants" I tried to clarify what I meant, several times. Whenever I said anything about land plants in this thread I meant vascular plants and I regret that I was not clearer. This thread is about new Cambrian fossil beds and new interesting fossils being discovered which I think is really neat.
