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. |
