Bowfin (Amia calva)

Period: Eocene

Age: 50 million years

Region: Messel Formation, Germany

Since the theory of evolution is not based on any scientific evidence and is kept propped up with
fabricated scenarios and propaganda techniques, it is impossible to find any fossil to corroborate
this fictitious theory. Darwinists have written a fictitious natural history and have sought to make
fossils fit that theory; but the exact opposite has happened, and every new fossil discovery places
the theory of evolution in an even more impossible position.

The bowfin fossil in the picture dates back 50 million years. The animal’s sharp teeth, jaw structu-
re, the fins beneath its body, the large, long fins on top of the body and the oyster-like tail have all
been perfectly preserved and it has been realized that there is no difference between this speci-

men’s skeletal system and that of present-day bowfins. The bowfin lives in the muddy, sandy or
reedy bottoms of lakes and rivers in Central and Eastern Anatolia. It feeds on small animals, in-
sects and larvae from the mud it sucks up on the bottom. It can withstand the high temperatures
of shallow waters. A 50-million-year-old fossil specimen of this life form reveals the invalidity of
the theory of evolution.
