"Something rotten in the state of palaeontology"

Something rotten in the state of palaeontology:

A collection of decomposing bodies is challenging the interpretation of the fossil record, and could force researchers to rethink the evolution of vertebrates.

An assumption underlying the interpretation of many fossils is that as the animals rot they lose their identifying characteristics in a random order, says a team of palaeontologists from the University of Leicester, UK.

Ooops interpretting the fossil record isn't as straight-forward as the evolutionitwots want us to believe.
