SHRIMP



                     Age: 127 to 89 million years old

                     Size: Matrix: 8.1 centimeters (3.2 in) by 10.9 centimeters (4.3 in)


                     Location: Hajoula, Lebanon
                     Period: Middle Cretaceous, Cenomanian


                     This specimen shows a fossilized shrimp and two fossilized
                     fish. The fish's fins and bone structure have been well
                     preserved. Shrimp belong to the phylum Arthropoda. The oldest
                     known fossil comes from the Jurassic Period (208 to 146 million
                     years ago). These fossils show us that shrimp have not changed
                     in hundreds of millions of years and that they did not pass
                     through any intermediate stages of development. In other
                     words, they did not evolve, but were created.
