TURTLE

Age: 37-23 million years

Period: Oligocene

Location: Brule Formation, Sioux County, Nebraska, USA

Thanks to their excellent bony protection, turtles are well preserved in fossil strata. The oldest
turtle fossils are about 200 million years old, and in all that time they have undergone no
changes. The 37- to 23-million-year-old turtle fossil seen here shows no difference between tur-
tles that lived then and those alive now, in all their perfect detail.

Faced with these proofs, there's one important fact that evolutionists ought to accept. David B.
Kitts, an evolutionist in the department of Geology and Geophysics at Oklahoma University,
says that "Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and paleontology does not
provide them." (David B. Kitts, "Paleontology and Evolutionary Theory," Evolution, Vol. 28,
September 1974, p. 467.)
