no transitional fossils.

I have read Gould's works. He explains correctly that every fossil is of a creature that once lived and was at that time the best adapted creature for it's niche. How would it appear to be transitional? In that sense every creature is transitional to something else in the future, we just don't know what yet (unless it just goes extinct).

The feathered dinosaur Archaeopteryx may be the kind of thing you are looking for. How about the living animal called the Tasmanian Tree Kangaroo, it sure looks like it's in transition to something else.
