    I just recently learned about the Deep Water Cycle, how the way plate tectonics works with subduction zones where ocean crust sinks beneath continental crust and recycles into the mantle. Some water goes down, too, and after getting broken down into hydrogen free radicals may make its way back up to the surface via a volcanic erruption.
    With water cycling through the mantle, it stands to reason that coastal subduction zones have also dumped a lot of fossils into our molten recycle bin.
    Animals in transition between land and water would favor the coast.
    If that coast was EVER a subduction zone, we're unlikely to find anything cause the oldest rock was melted down before we figured out picks, shovels, or chizels.

      Growing up, i had never heard anyone use the term “fishes”, the plural was always “fish”. When we went down to the lake to go fishing, NO ONE would come back talking about how many “fishes” they caught.
      It wasn’t until i started watching science videos that I’ve heard the word “fishes”. I have had it explained to me once that “fish” can be singular or plural, with “fishes” being employed specifically to encompass multiple groups or classifications of fish. I cannot speak to whether or not that distinction is commonly used.
      I would round out my reply with: language is what it’s used to be. Definitions and connotations change all the time simply by words being used in new and different ways. Or not being used in ways it previously was employed. So there is never any harm in learning new ways a word can be used.

    My hypothesis. Usually fossils are formed when there is volcanic activity that put ashes on the ground in layers, sudden landslide that buries animals, or even a tsunami. So in order for a fish to be able to slowly evolve into land animals earth nust have been at that time very calm for a long time, thus giving the animals a chance to adapt to the new found land. Which in turn prevents fossilization because Earth was calm.

    A more recent finding shows a population of tetrapods with a distinctly Romer's Gap-like morphology but which lived in seclusion for long enough to meet with early mammals. In fact they eventually took on an exoparasitic relationship with mammals in their region by obtaining sustenance from the mammal's lactation. It has been dubbed the purplenurpeton.

    I suspect that it has something to do with the bacteria development during that time, the few creatures on land at that time would die and were probably decomposing in an abnormal way or a way that leaves no fossil behind. (Slowly, or even rapidly who knows.) And because of this decomposition bacteria being under evolved and unable to properly deal with flesh bodies on land it it might have contributed to this mysterious gap in the record. - But I am not an expert or anything, I have just had this theory every since I learned that all Coal comes from before Fungus evolved to decompose wood properly, and It made me wonder if perhaps a similar phenomenon was happening with Bacteria Biomes that hadn't fully evolved enough to accommodate these new land dwelling bodies. - and after about 30 million years the bacteria would evolve to fill that hole in the ecosystem and capitalize on body decomposition leaving many more skeletons and remains behind to form fossils. - leading to the fossil Record becoming populated again. - Just a hunch from a Dinosaur/fossil nerd.

    Or maybe their local environment changed and the ones with the most appropriate traits survived the changes, leaving the prior, perhaps more commonly dominant traits behind in the evolutionary trail.

    My guess it's missing because they probably came out of the water in one tiny area that has since disappeared. I doubt it was a world wide phenomenon it go from breathing water to being able to breath air

    Are there many fossils forming now? Should we be creating durable physical copies of all current species for future civilizations to discover, in case all of our research gets wiped out?

    Earth never had a species like humans. But what about relatively compared to other animals. The first fish . The first hypocampus episodic memory and can recall memories at will memories routines territories . And social structures compared to slug that can barely move and have their memories really by what stimulates .but the first moble animals. Fish Quality thought we exclusive to mammals .but human are wiping out so many species . But when first early mammals appeared First 62'000 years of early mammals was worst extinction in Earth's history

    Australia has been known as a hotspot for ecological discovery for more than 30 years and i can never understand why New Zealand and the prior Zealandia or whatever it was called before most of it sunk into the ocean millions of years ago, is not one... it makes sense that neighbouring countries could hold missing pieces to the whole Auzzy puzzle so to speak..
    More discoveries seem to happen monthly lately and i think personally alot left to find in and around New Zealand but also in between there and Australia it just makes sense.
    I also want marine biologists to finally find the cause of 1000s of male great whites in the oceans near New Zealands southern coasts (forgot the places name sorry 😅)
    Why no females? Where are the females? Ect..
    Science is endlessly fun. 🎉
