Some new fossils were recently discovered, dating back to around 375 million years ago, of an animal which has characteristics of a fish (gills, and fins), but also “the ribs, neck, rudimentary ear bones and primitive limbs of what ultimately would become the arms and legs of the first land animals.”
“This is another gap closed that a deity no longer needs to fill [...] The fossil combines features of fish and tetrapods such that it fits perfectly between the two.”

ID proponents remain, as ever, unconvinced –
“What remains unexplained is how natural selection and random mutation could produce the many novel physiological characteristics that arise in true tetrapods.”
