Last year there was an announcement about a new fossil find; the animal

correctly) may have had the equivalent of wrist joints in its stubby
little lobes. Has anyone made a picture of the reconstructed animal?
It seems to me that this creature is close to being an incarnation of
the "Darwin fish" of bumper sticker fame, and it would be handy to be
able point to a picture of it (both the fossil and the reconstuction)
when a Creationist insists that there are no transitional forms.
Failing that are there any other pre-amphibians that make a good "Darwin
fish"? I'm saving the Ceolocanth to point to when they say "But there
is no transitional form before *that* one..."

You're probably thinking of Tiktaalik
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/04/tiktaalik_makes_another_gap.php
There's also Gogonasus andrewsae
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/10/gogonasus_andrewsae.php
You can probably do a google image search on each of these if you're
looking for a better image.
