FOSSIL SPECIMENS DISCOVERED IN SPAIN

Much of Spain consists of mountainous and hilly regions, such as the Pyrenees and the Sierra

Nevada. Twenty-four percent of the country is above 1000 meters (3280 feet) . The mountainous areas
contain some important fossil beds.
The rocky structure is divided into two. The north and west of the Iberian Peninsula is mainly made

up of crystalline rocks such as granite and schist. The other part is made up of sedimentary rocks with
high levels of limestone.
Among the fossils obtained from Spain are brachiopods and various marine creatures from the
Devonian Period (417 to 354 million
years ago), a wide variety of plant and

animal species from the Carboniferous
Period (354 to 290 million years ago) and
many fossils of mammal, reptile, marine,

bird and plant species from the Cenozoic
Period (65 million years to the present
day).
All these fossils place Darwinism in
a major predicament. These discoveries

offer no evidence in support of the claim
of gradual evolution, but reveal millions
of specimens that show that living

things were created immediately and
underwent no change during long
geological periods. The significance of
this is obvious: Living things did not
evolve. Almighty God created them all.
