Comb Jelly
Period: Cambrian
Age: 525 million years
Region: Utah, USA
The picture shows a 525-million-year-old Cambrian period comb jelly. The reason why these animals,
whose scientific name is ctenophores, are known as comb jellies is that they possess eight lines of cilia.
What differentiates comb jellies from other species of jellyfish is that they lack the venom-filled organ
known as the nematocyst, which resembles a curved tube. The biological phenomenon known as biolu-
minescence can be seen in the majority of jellyfish and ctenophores.
This enables the organism to put on a wonderful sound and light show in the depths of the sea. There
is no doubt that this characteristic has been given to this animal by Allah since it was first created by
Him. This fossil, showing the appearance of this life form 525 million years ago, proves the invalidity of
the theory of evolution.
