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.
