It’s hard to believe, but a reptile has been found in Precambrian strata (specifically Ediacaran) – with preserved skin. This sometimes happens in more recent deposits, but there has never been a case this old. Plus, this fossil is the first one I’ve ever seen that could meet Haldane’s criteria for falsifying evolution: a Precambrian rabbit. I mean, I guess now that push comes to shove I have to say that I wouldn’t give up evolution because of one out of place fossil, but I’ve always prided myself on sticking to the evidence, so I figured I should post it as soon as I heard about it.
I wouldn’t normally trust a find like this before it’s been published, but it was discovered by long-time, reliable talk.origins veteran Chris Nedin. It was only the creationists who said “Nedin cannot be trusted”, us evolutionists knew he was as good as gold.

Why are there not snakes in the precambrian?

Because snakes are terrestrial and the pre-cambrian is an assemblage of aquatic fauna.

Perhaps "Dr" Carl Baugh will want to buy it for his "museum". It would not be out of place there.

On what grounds do you say the precambrian is aquatic.
How do you explain the red beds of the Torridonian - desert or the widespread glacial deposits?
Please get your geology straight
