Spider Fossil Good News for Creationists
It seems that most fossils being found nowadays are good news for creationists, what with excellent preservation, computerized tomography (as used here), and all that good stuff. New South Wales is a state on the east coast of 'Straya, the centre of which is home to McGraths Flat.
It is a research area, and they are finding some interesting fossils (expect more in the future). A brushfooted trapdoor spider fossil was on the large side. Although mostly the same as its modern counterpart, Darwin's disciples naturally cheered evolution.
