Reptilian Foot
Age: 100 million years old
Location: Myanmar Period: Cretaceous
Fossils in amber are important examples of the kinds of forest life that existed tens of millions of years ago. Research into amber specimens provides information about not only the life forms preserved in them, but also about their habitats and other living things in their ecosystem. This 100-million-year-old fossil shows how reptilian feet have remained unchanged despite the passage of so much time. Whatever characteristics living reptiles have now, they are the same as to those living 100 million years ago.

Dwarf Six-Eyed Spider (Oonopidae)
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Poland Period: Eocene
In his book The Nature of the Fossil Record, Derek Ager makes an important admission:
It must be significant that nearly all the evolutionary stories I learned as a student . . . have now been debunked. (Derek Ager The Nature of the Fossil Record, Proceedings of the Geological Association, Vol. 87, No. 2 (1976), pp. 131-159)Ager wrote those words in 1976. The levels now reached by science and technology have disproved all the claims of evolution. One of the most important evidence establishing this is the fossil record. Countless specimen, such as the 50-million-year-old spider pictured, totally refute Darwins theory. |

False Flower Beetle (Scraptiidae)
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Poland Period: Eocene
If any insect that existed 50 million years ago had all the organs and physical features possessed by the same insect today, then it is impossible to state that this life form has achieved its present form through evolution. Research over the last 150 years or so has produced no candidates for the supposed ancestor of the more than 1 million known species of insects. Nor is it likely for any answer to be forthcoming in the future, because insects are not descended from any alleged common forebear. Insects did not assume their present-day forms through evolution. Every species is created with its own particular characteristics and never changes so long as that species survives. The fossil record is the most important proof of that.
