FLY AND SPIDER

Age: 50 million years

Period: Eocene

Location: Poland

A fly and a spider have been fossilized in amber. This dual fossil, which is 50 million years old, is
one of the proofs pointing out the despairing situation of evolutionists.
Spiders, mites, centipedes and other such invertebrates are not true insects, although that is how

they are commonly referred to. Highly significant fossil findings regarding these creatures were
presented at the 1983 annual conference of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science: The fascinating features of these 380-million-year-old spider, mite and centipede fossils
were no different from those of contemporary specimens. One of the scientists who examined these
fossils commented, "It is as if they had died yesterday." (New York Times Press Service, San Diego
Union, 29 May 1983; W. A. Shear, Science, Vol. 224, 1984, p. 494.)
