Is this the pattern?

Refuted comprehensively by a vertebrate paleontologist, complete with links.

This guy's a "vertebrate paleontologist" & he says

A bone "or less"? I know of no vertebrates which are represented by less than a bone!
Goodness! I guess if you're religion's "right" they'll let anybody in.
Even talkdeceptions has knowledge of such

Peramus (late Jurassic, about 155 Ma) -- A "eupantothere" (more advanced placental-type mammal). The closest known relative of the placentals & marsupials. Triconodont molar has with more defined cusps. This fossil is known only from teeth, but judging from closely related eupantotheres (e.g. Amphitherium) it had finally lost the reptilian jaw joint, attaing a fully mammalian three-boned middle ear with excellent high-frequency hearing. Has only 8 cheek teeth, less than other eupantotheres and close to the 7 of the first placental mammals. Also has a large talonid on its "tribosphenic" molars, almost as large as that of the first placentals -- the first development of grinding capability.

But a much more important series of "missing links" qualifies too!

The fossilized skeleton of a small crocodile relative excavated last year at Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona throws a wrench into theories of how and where the dinosaurs arose more than 210 million years ago at the end of the Triassic Period.

The animal, one of many creatures from the Late Triassic known only from their teeth, was thought to be an ancestor of the plant-eating ornithischian dinosaurs like Stegosaurus and Triceratops, which roamed the world millions of years later in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

The fact that this presumed dinosaur, Revueltosaurus callenderi, is instead a crocodile ancestor does not merely disappoint rockhounds, who sell the abundant teeth as "dinosaur teeth," but it also throws into question the identity of other presumed dinosaur ancestors known only from teeth, which includes all Late Triassic ornithischians outside South America.

Iguanadon ottingeri is another example. I'll stop now so as not to waste more time. Google gave me 76 hits on my first try. Even with overlap, there's too many to bother with on such a point. Trash-talking evoclowns are a dime a dozen.

I see this specimen is also into mantras

Emmm...no they haven't. Creationists systematically deny the evidence.

I particularly like "101"

These are not the words of an "evolutionist", but the unsubstantiated assertions of a creationist
It's appropriately labled "misrepresentation". Fred Williams just got done attributing the quote to "Creationist Dr Duane Gish". It's right there on this joker's own page!

Enough of this. Time to move on & see what your other link's about. I approve of your choice of links lately, LindaLou. They keep providing me with plenty of evidence. This one, the Antarctic model, the glacier "expert"... makes it easy for me when they self-destruct.
