Fossilized Four-Footer

The earliest known fossil of a four-footed animal has been uncovered in Latvia. The 365 million-year-old Ventastega curonica was an evolutionary dead-end, but this trend setter showed that once you go tetrapod, you never go back(trapod). Although it's still unclear why fish ever evolved limbs, it's theorized that Ventastega curonica used his stubby limbs to walk through shallow water. Although modern quadrupeds didn't evolve from this particular species, the fossil shows us how life made the leap from sea to land. But best of all, its discovery inches Kirk Cameron one step closer to a complete emotional breakdown over his own creationist absurdity. Here's hoping it happens on the set of the next Growing Pains reunion movie. More details here.
