FOSSIL SPECIMENS OF SEA CREATURES
![](http://harunyahya.com/books/darwinism/atlas_creation_II/images_atlasII/0108.jpg)
FLYING FISH
Age: 95 million years
Period: Middle Cretaceous, Cenomanian
Location: Hadjoula, Lebanon
Flying fish leap out of the water, propelled by rapid
movements of their tail fin and glide a certain distance before gently
dropping back into the water. During this airborne movement, the fish
can reach a speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) an hour. There is no
difference between flying fish living today and those that lived about
100 million years ago. The species has not undergone the slightest
change in all that time, which destroys all the claims of the
evolutionists about the origins and history of living creatures.
Scientific discoveries have shown that living things
have not developed in evolutionary stages but were created by Almighty
God. |

STURGEON
Age: 144-65 million years
Period: Cretaceous
Location: Liaoning Province, China
The sturgeons, of which only two families remain in
existence, have always been sturgeons. They have neither developed from,
nor turned into any other species.
Fossil finds corroborate the fact that like all other
creatures, sturgeons have never undergone any process of evolution. |

HORSESHOE CRAB
Age: 150 million years
Period: Late Jurassic
Location: Solnhofen Limestone, Eichsatt, Germany
Horseshoe crabs belong to a subphylum of the arachnids
calledChelicerata, and are more closely related to spiders and
scorpions. The 150-million-year-old fossil of a horseshoe crab shown
here demonstrates once again that Creation is a fact and that the
process of evolution never occurred. |

STINGRAY
Age: 95 million years
Period: Middle Cretaceous, Cenomanian
Location: Byblos, Haqil, Lebanon
Stingrays are cartilaginous fish and live mostly on the sea floor.
Their gills are on the bottom, or ventral side of their bodies and their
eyes are on top. Their tail fins and dorsal fins are very small; on
some species, they are absent altogether.
Stingrays that lived about 100 million years ago have the same
characteristics as those still alive today. In all that time, they have
not undergone any changes.
This suggests that evolution is an untenable theory. |

OYSTER
Age: 150 million years
Period: Late Jurassic
Location: Chile
"Oyster" is a generic name given to a group of shelled mollusks that
live in the ocean, feeding on plankton which they filter through their
gills.The shells containing high levels of calcium are generally
fossilized easily. The oldest known oyster fossil comes from the
Ordovician period (490 to 443 million years ago). Despite the
approximately half a million years that have passed since then, oysters
have not changed. Those oysters that lived 490 million years ago or
150 million years ago are no different from those alive today. This
fact completely nullifies the claims of evolution that creatures
evolved in stages, in a succession of tiny changes. The fossil record
shows that creatures have not gone through any process of evolution and
that Almighty God created them.

CRAB
Age: 37-23 million years
Period: Oligocene
Location: Lyby, Denmark
The fossil record is rich enough to permit a general comprehension of
the origin of living things and provides us with a definite scenario:
Various species of living creatures appeared on Earth all at once,
individually and without "evolving" through any intermediate forms.
This is one of the proofs that Almighty God created all living
creatures.
One of these fossils that demonstrates the clear fact of creation is
shown here: the nearly 35-million-year-old remains of a crab.
This crab fossil was found in Denmark on the Limfjords
coast. This type of fossil is quite commonly found in this area.
Preserved in nodules, they usually emerge to the surface in winter or
after periods of heavy rain. The rounded stones are split open to
discover whether they contain fossils. If a fossil is found, it is
prepared for exhibition using files and other tools.
This fossil demonstrates that there is no structural
difference between crabs alive today and those alive roughly 35 million
years ago, again proving the invalidity of evolutionist claims. If a
creature has not undergone the slightest change in tens of millions of
years, it is impossible to speak about the evolution of living things.

SHRIMP
Age: 150 million years
Period: Late Jurassic
Location: Solnhofen Limestone, Eichstatt, Germany
Another scientific discovery showing that there was no process of
evolution, as the Darwinists claim, is the fossilized shrimp
illustrated here. Since shrimp first came into existence, they have
always displayed all the same organs and characteristics as they have
today and have undergone no changes in all that time. This shrimp
fossil shows plainly that evolution is an imaginary scenario. |

STINGRAY AND HERRING
Age: 54-37 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Green River Formation, Wyoming, USA
In this specimen we see a thorny stingray of the Dasyatidae family and a
herring fossilized together. These fossils show that modern-day thorny
stingrays and herrings are no different from the ones that swam tens of
millions of years ago; they are among the countless proofs that
invalidate the theory of evolution.

LOBSTER
Age: 144-65 million years
Period: Cretaceous
Location: Lower Greensand, Atherfield, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
There is no difference between this lobster, which lived tens of
millions of years ago, and those that are still alive today. This deals a
devastating blow to the theory of evolution. The fossil pictured here
of a lobster from the Cretaceous period (between 144 and 65 million
years ago) proves that the claims of evolutionists with regard to
natural history are completely untenable.
Creatures did not evolve; they are created by God, Lord of the worlds. |

GUITAR FISH
Age: 95 million years
Period: Middle Cretaceous, Cenomanian
Location: Haqil, Lebanon
Paleontology has provided numerous proofs that creatures did not evolve
but were created by God. One of these proofs is this
95-million-year-old fossilized guitar fish.
These fish live in tropical and subtropical waters and have not changed
in about 100 million years. Darwinists can give no scientific
explanation for a fossil like this, which shows that it did not undergo
any process of evolution. Today's guitar fish are no different from
those that lived approximately 100 million years ago—which once again
underlines the fact of God's Creation. |

LOBSTER
Age: 144-65 million years
Period: Cretaceous
Location: Lower Greensand, Atherfield, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
The lack of any intermediate forms in the fossil record completely
undermines the theory of evolution. After years of digging and
explorations, not even one fossil has been found to indicate that any
primitive, incomplete creature with half-developed organs ever existed.
All fossils discovered to date show that all the characteristics of the
species in question came to be in complete form and at the same time;
that is, that they were created.
One of these many examples is a lobster that lived between 144 and 65 million years ago.
