This is a WP:INDISCRIMINATE list. The phrase "transitional fossil" has almost no weight in modern paleontology. Almost any fossil could be considered a transitional fossil between some group or another, as almost all fossils show a selection of both primitive and derived traits, as detailed in our cladistics article. While some of this list is sourced some of these sources don't even use the phrase, "transitional fossil", and the vast majority is completely unsourced. The section Transitional_fossil#Prominent_examples in the main article is more than enough to list the most historically famous examples like Archaeopteryx Hemiauchenia ( talk) 00:58, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
