COELACANTH
Age: 240 million years old
Location: Ambilobe, Madagascar
Period: Lower Triassic
The coelacanth, a 400-million-year-old fish, represents an
impasse for the theory of evolution. This fish has not
undergone any changes in 400 million years. The fact that it has
preserved its earliest physiological structures over this length
of time—despite continental shifts, climate changes and
changes in environmental conditions—baffles evolutionists.
The coelacanth once again invalidates the theory that living
things evolved and that they undergo a constant process of
evolution.
The coelacanth fossil seen here is in two sections. In this type of
fossil, mirror-image traces of the creature appear on the two
split halves of the stone.
