By providing concrete examples you really make this an argument that there are at least some instances of recorded intermediate species (implying that there are many, many more), and in the invertebrates this is very well documented. For example, the trilobite, are shown to have inhabited a very large set of communities in the biosphere (probably as many as insects today do in the water column). You may remember: one of my very first paid consulting jobs was to crunch the data for a guy's thesis. I got a little money, but it wasn't really worth the effort that I took from a financial sense. It was a challenge and pressed the envelop for what a personal computer could do. It took 24 hours of processing on my personal computer and produced a printed correlation chart for which of the species lived together in which strata and to provide correlation between the various vertical layers (each thin band was one year of sediment!)
