First of all since creatures within a family, order, or class are so highly variable, it would be predicatable on the basis of the creation model that animals in different orders and classes would have some charecteristics in common. ( although those horses seemed to be in the same species to me, but I did not look very closely.) I'd be more convinced if someone would show me a half reptile/half horse. All those looked like to me was fossils of different horses found in different parts of the world who had gone through some sort of adaptation as a result of the climate, not some jump between species. They looked to all belong to the same family. Hence micro not macro evolution.
Many claim that Archaeopteryx has teeth, a long tail, claws and wings, which are all reptilain charecteristics. However, Archaeopteryx did not have reptile teeth, but teeth that were uniquely bird like, having unserrated teeth with the constricted bases and expanded roots, while theropd dinosaures (its alleged ansector) had serrated teeth with straight roots. Futhermore it is not suprising that some birds had teeth, since this is true of all other vertabrates. The long tail is supposed to be a reptillain feature, but not all reptiles have long tails.
Also Archaeoptrys fossil gave no evidence of a bony sternum, which lead many palentologist to believe that he could not fly, however, a seventh species was reported that in cluded a bony sterunum. Thus proving that the bird was suitable for flying as any modern bird.
Finally one must believe that scales evolved into feathers for flight, this idea no matter how many millions of years one gives it is simply far fetched.
