FOSSIL
SPECIMENS DISCOVERED IN THE USA
FOSSIL SPECIMENS FOUND IN
CANADA
Canada has some of the oldest geological structures in the
world. A
large part of its rock formations belong to the Precambrian
Period (4.6
billion years to 543 million years ago), and the country is rich
in fossil
beds.
One of the dominion's most important fossil beds is the
world-famous
Burgess Shale Formation. The fossil bed in Burgess Shale is
regarded
as one of the most significant paleontological discoveries of
our time.
Research has shown that when the sediments from which fossils
are obtained
were being laid down, this region lay close to the equator. At
that time,
the Burgess Shale area lay on the lower edge of the North American
continent.
The first fossils discovered were a number of invertebrate
specimens
found by the paleontologist Charles Doolittle Walcott in the
early 1900s.
In fact, Burgess Shale is an area known for its invertebrate
fossils.
Thanks to these specimens more than 500 million years old, some
140 species
that lived during the Cambrian Period have been identified. The
characteristic
of these fossils is that they belong to many different phyla and
seem
to have emerged suddenly, with no forebears in preceding strata.
Evolutionist
sources admit that accounting for these fossil discoveries is
impossible
in terms of the theory of evolution.
Another major fossil field in Canada lies in Miguasha Park.
This area,
rich in fossil specimens, lies on the Gaspé Peninsula. Fossils
were first discovered in the region in the mid-1800s. The
region's rock
structure dates back some 375 to 350 million years. Research
reveals
that around 370 million years ago, the Gaspé Coast was a
tropical
gulf.

The fossils in Miguasha exhibit a wide variety, from
micro-organisms
to vertebrates and from invertebrates to plants. Some plant and
fish
fossils obtained from Miguasha are the earliest examples of
their kind.
For example, the plant known as Spermasposita is thought to be
the oldest
flowering plant on Earth. With their fully formed and flawless
structures,
these specimens show that living things were already complex at a
time
when evolutionists maintain that life was supposedly exceedingly
primitive.
MOONEYE FISH
Age : 50 million years old
Size : 8.3 centimeters (3.25 in) by 3.2 centimeters (1.25 in)
Location: British Columbia
Formation: Cache Creek formation
Period: Eocene
The mooneye fish is a medium-size North American fish that normally
lives in
large lakes and rivers. Like other living creatures, this species of
fish has
survived for millions of years without any change in its physical
structure.
The fact that a 50-million-year-old mooneye fish is identical to its
living descendents
cannot be explained by evolutionists.

SEQUOIA BRANCH
Age :50 million years old
Size : 7 centimeters (2.75 in) by 10 centimeters (4
in)
Location: Kamloops, British Columbia
Period: Eocene
Now known as the largest trees on Earth, sequoias live a
very
long time. Most of them grow in North America. Some are
1,000
years old and 150 meters (492 feet) high. Fossils show
that
sequoias have remained the same for millions of years;
that
is, they have not undergone a process of evolution. The
fossil
seen here of a 50-million-year-old sequoia branch is
identical
to that of trees living today. |
MOONEYE FISH
Age : 50 million years old
Size : 10 centimeters (4 in) by 1.5 centimeters (0.6
in)
Location: British Columbia
Formation: Cache Creek Formation
Period: Eocene
From Canada's fossil fields, numbers of fossil mooneye
fish
have been encountered. All these fossils show that
mooneye
fish have been the same for millions of years. This
million
year-old stability—no change in physical structure—is
an important proof that evolution has never happened. |
This fossil with its
counterpart is 50 million years old.
SEQUOIA STEM WITH MARCH FLY
Age : 50 million years old
Size : 10 centimeters (4 in) by 12.7 centimeters (5
in)
Location: Kamloops, British Columbia
Period: Eocene
March flies belong to the Bibionidae family and feed
mostly
on plant pollen. The fossil record shows that all
species of
flies came into being at the same time and have lived
on for
millions of years without any change in their physical
structures.
This proves that flies, like all other living
creatures, did
not evolve. Evolutionists admit that the origin of
flies cannot
be explained in terms of the theory of evolution.
The zoologist Pierre -Paul Grassé,- points
this out when he writes: "We are totally in the dark
about the origin of insects." (Evolution of Living
Organisms,
New York Academic Press, 1977, p. 30) The fossil
record demonstrates
that flies and all other insects originated as the
result of
God's creation. |
LUNGFISH
Age : 350 million years old
Size : 18.5 centimeters (7.3 in)
Location: Miguasha, Gaspesie
Period: Upper Devonian
Today's lungfish live mostly in Africa and South America.
When
the water level falls and a river dries up, these fish
survive
by burying themselves in the mud. The oldest known fossil
of
a lungfish dates from the Devonian period (417 to 354
million
years ago). The fossil pictured also dates back to this
period.
There is no difference between a lungfish of today and one
that lived 350 million years ago. These fish have not
changed
in hundreds of millions of years and offer proof that
living
creatures did not evolve, they were created. |
SEQUOIA STEM AND HORNBEAM
LEAF
Age : 54 to 37 million years old
Size : Matrix: 7 centimeters (2.75 in) by 1.5
centimeters (0.6
in)
Location: British Columbia
Formation: Cache Creek formation
Period: Eocene
Plants have such highly complex structures that it is
not possible
that they appeared by chance and evolved from one
another,
as evolutionists claim. The fossil record shows that
the various
classifications of plants appeared all at once, and
that there
was no process of evolution connecting them. The
fossils seen
here of sequoia and hornbeam tree leaves dramatize
that evolution
is not a valid theory. And there is no difference
between plants
living today and these equivalents that lived between
54 and
37 million years ago. |
This fossil, dating back
54 to 37 million years, consists of two parts; negative and positive.
SEQUOIA STEM WITH SEEDPODS ON BRANCH
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Size : Leaf, 7 centimeters (2.7 in) by 10.7
centimeters (4.3
in)
Location: British Columbia
Formation: Cache Creek Formation
Period: Eocene
There is no difference between sequoia trees growing today
and those that were growing millions of years ago. This
proves
that plants, like animals, did not undergo a process of
evolution. |
BIRCH
Age : 54 to 37 million years old
Size : 20.2 centimeters (8 in) by 23 centimeters (9.3
in)
Location: British Columbia
Formation: Cache Creek Formation
Period: Eocene
The birch tree belongs to the Betula genus and grows
in northern
climates. The fossil pictured is from a tree that
lived between
54 and 37 million years ago. This leaf is identical to
those
on present day's trees. This proves that birch trees,
like
other living creatures, did not evolve. |
SALMON HEAD
Age : 1.8 million to 11,000 years old
Size : 15.2 centimeters (6 in) by 8.6 centimeters (3.4
in)
Location: Kamloops River, British Columbia
Period: Pleistocene
Fossils of salmon have been found at many geological
levels,
and all are identical to salmon alive today. Every
fossil that
is discovered refutes Darwinists and proves that
salmon, like
other living species, have never changed. |
GINKGO LEAF AND SEQUOIA STEM
Age : 54 to 37 million years old
Size: Ginkgo leaf, 5 centimeters (2 in), 5.8
centimeters (2.3
in)
Location: British Columbia
Formation: Cache Creek Formation
Period: Eocene
The ginkgo tree is a living fossil that belongs to its own
class of Ginkgophyta. The oldest known examples date back
270
million years. The fossil ginkgo leaf shown here is
between
54 and 37 million years old. These trees have been the
same
for hundreds of millions of years—a challenge to the
theory of evolution. |
GINKGO LEAF
Age : 54 to 37 million years old
Size:: Leaf:, 5 centimeters (2 in) by 5.8 centimeters
(2.3
in)
Location: British Columbia
Formation: The Cache Creek Formation
Period: Eocene
Fossil discoveries clearly disprove the claims
regarding the
evolution of plant species. One of these discoveries
is of
a 54- to 37-million-year-old fossil ginkgo leaf.
Ginkgo trees
that grew tens of millions of years ago are identical
to those
growing today. |
ELM LEAF
Age : 50 million years old
Size : Matrix: 11 centimeters (4.3 in) by 5.8
centimeters (2.3
in)
Location: Kamloops, British Columbia
Formation: Cache Creek Formation
Period: Eocene
The elm trees that grow in temperate climates are
generally
found in North America, Europe and Asia.
50-million-year-old
fossil elm tree leaves clearly refute the claims of
the evolution
of plants. |
GINKGO BILOBA LEAF
Age : 54 to 37 million years old
Size : 3 centimeters (1.2 in) by 2.5 centimeters (1
in)
Location: British Columbia
Formation: Cache Creek Formation
Period: Eocene
There is no fossil that can validate the claims
regarding the
evolution of plants. To the contrary, hundreds of
thousands
of fossils disprove these claims. One of these,
pictured here,
is that of a 54- to 37- million-year-old fossil ginkgo
leaf.
The fact that ginkgos have not changed in millions of
years
shows that evolution is a great deception. |
ALDER LEAF
Age : 54 to 37 million years
old
Size : 3 centimeters (1.2
in) by
7 centimeters (2.8 in)
Location: Kamloops British
Columbia
Period: Eocene
There is no difference
between alder
trees growing today and ones
that
grew between 54 and 37
million years
ago. Alders that lived then
had the
same systems as trees have
today.
This is proof that evolution
never
happened on Earth.
|
HORNBEAM AND ELM
LEAVES
Age : 54 to 37 million
years old
Size : Matrix: 31
centimeters (12.2
in) by 18 centimeters (7
in)
Location: British Columbia
Formation: Cache Creek
Formation
Period: Eocene
The fossil record shows
that all
plant species have
survived from
the beginning of their
existence
without the slightest
change. If
a living organism retains
the same
characteristics for
millions of
years, then obviously it
did not
evolve; but was created.
One proof
of this fact can be seen
in the
54- to 37-million-year-old
fossils
of hornbeam and elm leaves
pictured
here.

DAWN REDWOOD FROND AND CONE
Age: 52 to 43.6 million years old
Size : Cone: 15 millimeters (0.6 in), stem: 11
centimeters(4.3
in) and frond 27 millimeters (1 in) ; matrix: 145
millimeters
(5.7in) by 11 centimeters (4.3 in)
Location: Tranquille Shale, Cache Creek, British
Columbia
Period: Lower Middle Eocene
This 52- to 43.6- million-year-old redwood cone is proof
that
plants did not undergo a process of evolution. Redwoods
that
grew millions of years ago are the same as those growing
today.
This shows that living species did not evolve. |
LOBSTER
Age : 146 to 65 million years old
Location : South Saskatchewan River Valley
Formation: Bear Paw Formation
Period: Cretaceous
Fossils that were gathered in the last 150 years
proved that
living species never changed or evolved from one
another. This
fact is underscored by this 146- to
65-million-year-old fossil
of a lobster, no different from its counterparts alive
today.
