You are quoting me as if you found some population that doesn't change with sweeping changes in the environment. What sweeping changes in the environment that crocodiles live in have occurred between the time those fossils were alive and now?

You reply with examples of global extinction events and global climate changes then finish with...

My jaw shan't drop open when I see both of you claiming these things didn't have a major impact. Evogoggles have a remarkable way of altering perceptions.

The thing is you haven't shown that the global environment changed individual environments the crocodiles, snakes, turtles and frogs lived in enough that from an evolution perspective it should have either wiped them out or caused their variety to get a new species/genus population to develop. All the existence of very old fossils of crocodiles, snakes, turtles and frogs means is that throughout those global changes these 4 types of organisms found places that they could survive. That is not all that unusual considering the many types of environments that they can be found in today.
