BOWFIN
Age: 54-37 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Messel Shales, near Frankfurt, Germany
Bowfins today live mostly in South America. They belong to the class of Actinopterygii and have
not changed in millions of years. They also belong to the superorder of Holostei (bony fish), and
many fossils have been discovered. These fossils show all the characteristics of present-day
bowfin and evidence that they have undergone no change at all over tens of millions of years.
This demonstrates that these creatures did not evolve from any previous species, but were created
in their present form by the supreme power and intelligence of God.
