OYSTER

Age: 150 million years

Period: Late Jurassic

Location: Chile

"Oyster" is a generic name given to a group of shelled mollusks that live in the ocean, feeding
on plankton which they filter through their gills.The shells containing high levels of calcium
are generally fossilized easily. The oldest known oyster fossil comes from the Ordovician pe-
riod (490 to 443 million years ago). Despite the approximately half a million years that have
passed since then, oysters have not changed. Those oysters that lived 490 million years ago
or 150 million years ago are no different from those alive today. This fact completely nullifies

the claims of evolution that creatures evolved in stages, in a succession of tiny changes. The
fossil record shows that creatures have not gone through any process of evolution and that
Almighty God created them.
