Hello,
Nice link to the tree of life website - it really puts everything into perspective when you look at things in order like that . I couldn't find much in the way of fossils though, and I'd like to able to see, in simple terms the progression from one stage to another through 'fossil steps' (eg jawless fish to the first land quandropeds).
Could you (or anyone else for that matter) point me in the direction of such a set of pictures? I don't want to try it myself in case I make a glaring mistake (my knowledge in the area being only passing and in no way up to date).
Then maybe a creationist or two could debate specific examples rather than using hand-wavey arguments about how small the number of transitional fossils are
regards
Ooook!

Thanks very much for all of the links (from both you and Coragyps) and for the very kind offers of help. There is plenty of stuff for me to get stuck into so I will take some time to digest the basics. I will probably then post back so I can check that I have it right in my head.
Cheers
Ooook!
