FLYING FISH




                 Age: 95 to 72 million years old

                 Size: 2.5 centimeters (1 in) by 4.5 centimeters (1.7 in) ;
                 matrix: 6 centimeters (2.4 in) by 8 centimeters (3.2 in)

                 Location: Hajoula, Byblos, Lebanon

                 Period: Upper Cretaceous

                 Another proof that living things did not undergo
                 evolution gradually is the flying fish fossil shown
                 here. This one lived between 95 and 72 million years
                 ago, and there is no difference between it and the
                 flying fish of today. These fish have wing-like
                 pectoral fins and a long tail which allow them to
                 glide above the water's surface.
