MENE (Mene maculata)
Age: 54 to 37 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Monte Bolca, Italy
This species of fish, a member of the family Menidae, is most frequently found in the Pacific Ocean.
Many fossils have been acquired of this vertebrate, dating back to the Cenozoic era (65 million years
ago, down to the present). Fossils of the species Mene maculata from the Monte Bolca Formation in
particular are important examples showing that these fish have never changed over millions of
years.
Despite the presence of many fossils such as this, showing that mene fish have always remained the
same, there are no fossils that show they are descended from other life forms, as evolutionists claim.
J. R. Norman, one of the administrators of the British
Museum of Natural History, describes how Darwinists’
claims regarding the emergence of fish are not based on any
evidence:
"The geological record has so far provided no evidence as to
the origin of the fishes . . ." (J. R. Norman, "Classification and
Pedigrees: Fossils," in A History of Fishes, 3rd ed., ed. Dr. P. H.
Greenwood, London: British Museum of Natural History,
1975, p. 343)
