Sand Lances (Ammodytes)

Period: Oligocene

Age: 37 - 23 million years

Region: Poland

Sand lances belong to the family Ammodytes and have a long, needle-like body and a

small, forked tail. These fish are around 15 cm (6 inches) long. They bury their long, thin
bodies in the sand to hide from predators. Thousands of these fish swim along together,
looking for food. According to the theory of evolution, species supposedly evolved from
one another gradually, in stages, by undergoing minute changes. But the long thin body,
the head and tail of the living fossil in the picture have never changed at all. Evolutionists
have been deceiving people with imaginary scenarios for many years. But, just like other
species, the sand lance was created as a fish by Allah and has survived down to the pre-
sent day as exactly the same fish.
