EEL



                     Age: 95 to 72 million years old

                     Size: 10.2 centimeters (4 in)

                     Location: Haqil, Lebanon

                     Period: Upper Cretaceous

                     An eel fossil alongside another fossilized fish. Eels usually live
                     in shallow water and belong to the order Anguilliformes. Some
                     eels live in deep water (4000 meters [13123 feet]).They may vary
                     in size between 10 centimeters (4 in) and 3 meters (9.8 feet) and
                     may weigh up to 65 kilograms (143.3 pounds). This fossilized eel
                     is no different from eels living today. They have not undergone
                     any changes in 95 to 72 million years, which proves that these
                     creatures did not go through a process of evolution.
