Nice Job though, maybe one of the textbook purveyors of your dogma will be interested in you donating your efforts, they never give up feeding the sheep this slop.

Professor, it's really silly to call a large list of actual fossil discoveries "make-believe". How do you justify that to yourself?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Just subbing
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Not if is it the last fossil in its line before the line goes extinct.

Transitional fossil doesn't so much describe the position of the creature in the continuous evolution of its line. Rather it refers to the role of the fossil in illuminating the transition from one previously known discrete position on that line to the next previously known discrete position.

That's easy for you to say.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's a japanese way of saying the portuguese "obrigado", which means "thank you"... or so the legend goes....
