A fish fossil found in Green River, Wyoming |
Dating back to the Eocene Period (54 to 37 million years ago), the Green
River fossil beds are one of the most important in the United States
of America. The first known excavations in the region took place in the
1850s. In 1856, the archaeologist Dr. John Evans announced the fish fossils
he had collected in the region to the scientific world, and the Green
River Formation thus entered the scientific literature.

that can be found in this layer are coral, mollusks, sea lilies,
worms and fish teeth..

The Green River is actually a tributary of the Colorado River. The Green
River Formation itself is a mountain-lake basin consisting of an area
spread over three separate states. Part of it lies to the east of the
Uinta Mountains in northwest Colorado, and a wider part lies in southwest
Wyoming.
Green River's rock structure is made up of different strata,
whose contents vary the deeper down one goes. Fossil distribution also
varies. To date, fossils belonging to some 60 separate vertebrate groups
have been found in digs in Green River and countless invertebrate fossils.
Ohio is a state with well-known fossil fields. Geological research has
shown that some 510 million years ago, Ohio lay to the south of Ecuador.
As the continents drifted and North America moved towards its present
position, Ohio found itself underwater several times. That explains why
a large number of fossils dating back to the Palaeozoic (543 to 251 million
years ago) have been discovered in Ohio.

Another state with rich fossil beds is Utah. A great variety of fossils,
from invertebrates to different marine organisms and from reptiles to
mammals, has been unearthed in Utah. Microscopic fossils recently discovered
in the Uinta Mountains have revealed that there are fossil beds in Utah
dating to the Cambrian Period.
As is the case with fossils discovered in other regions of the world,
all of them once again demonstrate that there is no difference between
modern-day trout, skate, dragonflies, flies, spiders, crabs and turtles
and similar creatures that lived millions of years ago. Living things
have undergone no change in the intervening hundreds of millions of years—in
other words, they did not undergo evolution. The fossil records refute
evolution and once again confirm the fact of creation.
GARFISH
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Size: 39 centimeters (15.3 in) in length; matrix: 29 centimeters
(11 in) by 40 centimeters (15 in)
Location: Lincoln County, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
Hundreds of garfish fossils that have been collected give
evidence that these still-living fish have remained unchanged
for millions of years. The garfish pictured, between 54 and
37 million years old, is no different from those living in
our seas today. This exact similarity is an inexplicable situation
for Darwinists and once again proves the fact of creation.
|
POPLAR LEAF
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Location: Colorado, USA
Formation: Green River
Period: Eocene
Darwinists try to explain the question of how plants emerged by using the concept of “chance.” They claim that an endless series of various plant species emerged, over the course of time and by chance, from one single original one-celled plant-which itself appeared as the result of chance.
They also maintain that every species' own particular characteristics, such as its smell, structure and colors, are similarly the work of coincidence. Evolutionists seek to account for a seaweed turning into a strawberry, or a poplar tree or a rosebush, by saying that these diversifications were the results of circumstances established wholly by chance. Yet there is no scientific evidence to support this fantasy.
On the other hand, there exist countless scientific data and findings that demolish evolutionists' claims. Countless examples are found in the fossil record, which shows that thousands of living species have persisted, totally unaltered, for hundreds of millions of years. This approximately 50-million-year-old poplar leaf fossil pictured here states by its very example that living things did not evolve, but were created.
|
STINGRAY
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Size: 8 centimeters (3.2 in) by 3.8 centimeters (1.5 in); matrix:
12.7 centimeters (5 in) by 10 centimeters (4 in)
Location: Lincoln County, Wyoming
Period: Eocene
Stingrays are cartilaginous fish. In the face of a threat,
they defend themselves with the stings on their tails. Their
eyes are located above their flattened bodies and their mouths
are underneath. Just like sharks, they find their food by using
their sense of smell and by electrical senses. They generally
live submerged on the ocean floor, with only their eyes and
tails discernable.
The fossil pictured evidences that fish have not undergone
evolution. Stingrays that lived 50 million years ago were no
different from the ones living today. Despite the passage of
millions of years, no change has occurred in the structure
of stingrays. If evolution had really taken place, then stingrays
would have undergone various stages, leaving behind many fossils
documenting these sequential stages. However each fossil discovered
reveal that today's stingrays and those that lived in the past
are the same. All these deny the claims of evolutionists. |
 
SARDINE
Age: 54 to 37 million years
Location: Green River Formation, Wyoming, USA
Period: Eocene
If evolutionary claims were true, then there should be considerable differences between sardine fossils unearthed and those living today. There should be signs in sardine fossils of the so-called evolutionary process that Darwinists claim took place. However, no trace of any such thing has ever been found. Neither is it possible for any to be found in the future, because life is not, contrary to what evolutionists would have us believe, the product of blind coincidences. Almighty and Omniscient God created all living things.
|
HERRING
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Size: 9.3 centimeters (3.7 in)
Location: Kemmerer, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
"Living fossils" reveal that species have not evolved,
but are created. Species have not attained their present body
structure by chance, as evolutionists claim. They are all created
flawlessly by Almighty God and have lived throughout their
existence in the form they were created.
The herring fossil pictured also proves this. Herrings have
remained the same for millions of years, preserving the form
and structure with which they were initially created. Like all
other fossils, this herring reveals that the theory of evolution
is based on lies. |
CRAB
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Oregon
Period: Eocene
One striking feature about the fossil record is that, living
beings have undergone no changes during all the geological periods.
In other words, for tens of millions, and even hundreds of millions
of years, creatures have remained just as they initially appeared
in the fossil records. This is evidence that then and now, living
beings have not evolved.
Crabs that have remained unchanged for 50 million years are among
these proofs. Crabs that live today and those of millions of years
ago are identical.
|
PERCH
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Size: 30.4 centimeters (12 in)
Location: Kemmerer, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
Perches are a kind of fish that can adapt to different environments
and water temperatures.
Darwinists' claim that livings species evolved from one another
via gradual changes is once again refuted by perch fossils. Today's
living perches share the same structures as their counterparts
of 50 million years ago.
|
SUMAC LEAF
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Size: 25 millimeters (0.9 in)
Location: Uintah County, Utah
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
Like all other living beings, plant species also emerged fully
formed, with their complex structures. That is to say, they were
created with all their characteristics intact. Hundreds of thousands
of plant fossils in geological strata prove this point. Evolutionists
can not provide us with fossils that are half-pine, half-willow,
half-moss, half-orchid, or half-carnation. On the other hand,
hundreds of thousands of fossils demonstrate that willows have
always been willows, pines have always remained as pines, spruces
have always remained as spruces and plane trees have always remained
as plane trees. Each of these fossils, millions of years old,
refutes evolution. This sumac fossil, between 54 and 37 million
years old, is another evidence revealing the Darwinists' deceptions.
|
TROUT-PERCH
Period: Eocene
Size: 54 - 37 milyon yıl
Location: Green River Oluşumu, Wyoming, ABD
Trout-perches generally live in lakes. If a creature continues
to survive in our day with all the flawless features it had
millions of years ago, having undergone no changes, this is
strong evidence invalidating the "gradual evolution" model
advanced by Darwin. There exist not a few, but millions of
such examples on Earth, that will prove this point. The trout-perch
fossil here is just part of this evidence. |
TWO HERRINGS
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Size: Matrix: 34.2 centimeters (13.5 in) by 43 centimeters
(17 in)
Location: Kemmerer, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
Like all other living beings, herrings have undergone no change for
millions of years. The structure of herrings that lived 54 million
years ago and those of today are exactly the same. This refutes the
evolutionist claim that living species gradually evolved from one
another.
Pictured are two distinct herring
species that were petrified side
by side. These fish, fossilized with
all their details, show that living
creatures have not gone through any
evolution, but were created. |
TRILOBITE
Age: 380 million years old
Size: 60 millimeters (2.3 in)
Location: Sylvania, Lucas County, Ohio
Formation: Silica Shale Formation
Period: Devonian
Trilobites are one of the most important sea creatures that lived
in the Cambrian Period, leaving many traces in various parts
of the world. One of the most astounding features of trilobites
is their multi-lensed eye structure, consisting of countless
units, each one of which is a lens. Just as the hexagonal "honeycomb" eyes
of insects, each of these units functions as a single, independent
lens. Each one perceives a separate image, and in the brain,
these images unite into a whole.
Research shows that some trilobites' eyes have more than three
thousand lenses, which means that more than three thousand images
are conveyed to this crustacean. In short, a sea creature that
lived 530 million years ago had a highly complex brain and eye—flawless
structures that could not have come into being by evolution.
|
HERRINGS
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Size: Matrix: 31 centimeters (12.5 in)
Location: Kemmerer, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
Pictured are herrings that probably were killed together because of a sudden
burial. Their fossilized tails and fins show no signs of any damage. Their well-preserved
eye sockets and bone structures once again show that evolution did not occur
in any part of their geologic time.
|
MILLIPEDE
Age: 300 million years old
Size: 50 millimeters (1.9 in); matrix: 58 millimeters (2.2 in) by 33 millimeters (1.2 in)
Location: Morris, (Mazon Creek), Illinois
Formation: Francis Creek Shale
Period: Pennsylvanian
Pictured is a 300-million-year-old fossil millipede. This and other millipedes that lived 300 million years ago display not the slightest difference from today's millipedes. Like all other living beings, millipedes too did not evolve, but were created.
|
JUVENILE RABBIT
Age: 30 million years old
Location: Lusk, Wyoming
Formation: White River Formation
Period: Oligocene
30-million-year-old fossils that are identical with creatures living today refute
the theory of evolution. Fossil discoveries reveal that rabbits have always been
rabbits.
|
TROUT-PERCH
Age: 50 million years old
Size: 65 millimeters (2.5 in) in length; matrix: 90 millimeters (3.5 in) by 45
millimeters (1.7 in)
Location: Fossil Lake, Kemmerer, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
Trout-perches are of many different kinds. Almost all of them exist in fossil
records, which show that they have stayed the same for millions of years and
have not evolved. |
SEA URCHIN
Age: 295 million years old
Size: Matrix: 110 millimeters by 163 millimeters (4.3 in by 6.4 in)
Location: Brown County, Texas
Formation: Winchell Formation
Period: Carboniferous
Pennsylvanian sea urchins are echinoderms that can be found today in all seas
of the world. Sea urchin fossils dating back 300 million years reveal that these
invertebrates with their complex structures have existed for millions of years.
During all that time, no change have occurred in their structure, and they have
undergone no intermediate stages.
Darwinists are desperate when confronted by these fossils, for they prove that
the evolution process has never existed.
|
SYCAMORE LEAVES
Age: 50 million years old
Size: Leaf is 15 centimeters (6 in) by 15 centimeters (6 in) size from the left
lobe to the end of the stem; matrix: 20.3 centimeters (8 in) by 22.8 centimeters
(9 in)
Location: Douglas Pass-Rangely, Colorado
Period: Eocene
Examining the fossil history and structural features of plants living on land,
we come across facts that are incompatible with what the theory of evolution
asserts. Plants shown in almost all biology books have no fossil records that
verify the so-called evolutionary process. Most of today's species have left
very satisfactory remains in the fossil records, and none of these shows any
features confirming a transition from one species to the next. All are distinct
species, created with their distinctive features in their original forms, and
have left no transitional connections, as claimed. As evolutionist paleontologist
E. C. Olson admits, the majority of plant groups emerged all of a sudden, leaving
no ancestors. (E. C. Olson, The Evolution of Life, New York: The New American
Library, 1965, p. 9)
The 50-million-year-old sycamore leaf fossil in the picture also verifies this
fact. |
SAND FISH
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Location: Lincoln County, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
The sand fish pictured is 54-37 million years old and has undergone no changes
during this time. This fossil, identical to the sand fish living in seas today,
invalidates the theory of evolution.
|
HERRINGS
Age: 55 million years old
Size: Matrix: 35 centimeters (13.7 in) by 23 centimeters (9 in)
Location: Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
Living fossils are no different from their counterparts that lived in ages past,
and offer evidence that species have not undergone evolution for millions of
years. The 55-million-year-old herrings pictured are some of these living fossils. |
GINKGO LEAF
Age: 65 to 54 million years old
Size: 12 centimeters (4.8 in)
Location: Almont, North Dakota
Formation: Sentinel Butte Formation
Period: Paleocene
Plants in the fossil records appear with features similar to plants alive today.
This shows that they were created, like all other living things.
The ginkgo leaf pictured is 65 million years old, proving that ginkgos have not
evolved. The general lines of leaf and its vein structure have been fossilized.
This 12 centimeter (4.8 in) fossil shows that ginkgos have been the same for
millions of years. There exists no difference between them now and those ginkgos
that grew in the past. |
HERRING
Age: 55 million years old
Size: 12 centimeters (4.8 in)
Location: Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
Although Darwinists choose not to admit it, the facts shown by fossil records
are evident. Millions of fossils gathered from all over the world manifest that
living beings did not evolve, but were created. One example showing this fact
is the herring pictured. Herrings that have remained the same for millions of
years once again show that the theory of evolution is a deception. |
SUNFISH
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Size: 17.2 centimetrs (6.8 in)
Location: Kemmerer, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
Seas in our day have many species of sunfish. The fossil pictured shows that
sunfish have not evolved. For millions of years their physiology has remained
the same. The appearance and structure of sunfish that lived about 55 million
years ago are the same as those alive today. |
LAMPREY
Age: 300 million years old
Size: 43 millimeters (1.6 in) wide, on a 73 millimeter (2.8 in) by 48-millimeter
(1.8 in) nodule pair
Location: Pit 11, Francis Creek Shale, Braidwood, Illinois
Period: Pennsylvanian
Braidwood's coal mines are rich in fossils. The lamprey in the picture is a species
lacking a jawbone. Although they generally live in shallow waters, some species
make long journeys in oceans.
This fossil is an evidence that lampreys have undergone no changes for approximately
300 million years. Despite the time that has passed, lampreys have always remained
the same. There exists no difference between a lamprey that lived millions of
years ago and those that live today. |
TROUT-PERCH
Age: 50 million years old
Size: 9.4 centimeters (3.7 in); matrix: 17.5 centimeters (6.8 in) by 12.3 centimeters
(4.8 in)
Location: Fossil Lake, Kemmerer, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
Evolutionists claim that fish evolved from invertebrates such as pikaia; that
amphibians and today's fish evolved from a so-called ancestral fish. Reptiles
evolved from amphibians, birds and mammals evolved from reptiles and finally,
human beings and apes of today evolved from one common ancestor. But in order
to prove this claim, they must be able to display the fossils of these transitional "missing
links." But as stated earlier, there are no traces of these imaginary creatures.
On the other hand, hundreds of millions of fossils reveal that the so-called
evolutionary process never occurred. These fossils prove that fish have always
been fish, birds have always been birds, reptiles have always been reptiles,
mammals have always been mammals and human beings have always been human. The
50-million-year-old trout-perch fossil pictured also shows that living creatures
have not evolved, but were created. |
TROUT TAIL
Age: 15 million years old
Location: Stewart Springs Flora, Stewart Valley, Nevada
Period: Miocene
Some fossils preserve only certain parts of living beings' bodies. Pictured is
a 15-million-year-old trout tail. As is seen, there is no difference between
a trout tail 50 million years old and one that's 15 million years old and one
that 's alive today. |
POPLAR
Age: 15 million years old
Location: Stewart Springs Flora,
Stewart Valley, Nevada
Period: Miocene
Poplar trees of the Salicaceae family have remained unchanged for millions of
years. There are no differences between their organic and structural features
they had initially and those they have now. This poplar leaf fossil dating back
15 million years proves this. |
CRANE FLY
Period: Cenozoic Era, Eocene epoch
Age: 48 to 37 million years old
Location: USA
As with all other species, stasis observed throughout the course of crane fly's existence is proof that evolutionary claims are false. The theory of evolution was proposed under the scientifically primitive conditions of the 19th century, adopted merely by ignorance, yet collapsed in the face of the 20th- and 21st-century science.
|
SPRUCE
Age: 15 million years old
Location: Stewart Springs Flora,
Stewart Valley, Nevada
Period: Miocene
"Spruce" is the general name given to 35 different species of trees
that remain green throughout the year. Fossil records display that they have
been the same for millions of years and have not undergone any evolution. The
spruce seed fossil pictured dates back to 15 million years. As it also confirms,
through millions of years that have gone by, spruce have always remained the
same. There is no difference between spruces in our day and those alive 15 million
years ago. |
LANTERN FISH
Age: 23 to 5 million years old
Size: 3.8 centimeters (1.5 in)
Location: California, USA
Formation: Puente Formation
Period: Miocene
Lantern fish are small fish that live in the ocean deeps and produce light within
their bodies, generally in their abdomens. Because they live in water that's
deep and dark, they use their light both to illuminate their immediate environment
and to scare their enemies. That these fishes' bodies have extremely advanced
and complex bodily structures that can produce light in their bodies millions
of years ago is inexplicable to evolutionists. |
PONDEROSA PINE
Age: 15 million years
Location: Stewart Springs Flora,
Stewart Valley, Nevada
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Miocene
The pine needle pictured is 15 million years old. Pine needles of 15 million
years ago and those of today are identical. The fact that they remain the same
despite the millions of years that have passed once again proves that evolution
never existed. |
PERCH
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Location: Fossil Lake, Kemmerer, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
According to evolutionists' claims, the ancestors of fish were invertebrates,
which lack backbones. However, evolutionists fail to answer how these ancestors
with spines but no bones developed a backbone. That is because, these living
beings should undergo such great changes that the hard shell surrounding their
bodies should disappear while a skeleton appears inside. For such a transformation,
there should be many intermediate links between the two organisms. However, evolutionists
fail to show even a single fossil as an intermediate form between vertebrates
and invertebrates.
On the other hand, millions of fossils show that fish always remained as fish,
this 54- to 37-million-year-old perch fossil is one of them. |
HERRING
Age: 55 million years old
Size: 21 centimeters (8.25 in)
Location: Kemerrer, Wyoming
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Paleocene
Herrings live in mild and shallow waters, mostly in the North Atlantic and Baltic
Sea. Herrings that have approximately 200 species are almost the same. Almost
all of them are silver in color and have a single fin on their backs.
The herring fossil in the picture is 21 centimeters (8.2 in). It is uncovered
from Green River from a depth of 2200 meters (7217 feet). As with all other fossil
records, this fossil herring reveals that living beings have not undergone evolution.
Evolutionists are desperate in the face of fossil records, and every new discovery
adds to their desperation. |
WILLOW
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Location: Uintah County, Utah
Formation: Green River Formation
Period: Eocene
As is the case with all other living things, the fossil record reveals that plants
too have remained unchanged for millions of years. Today's plants have the same
systems and mechanisms they did millions of years ago. The fossil willow leaf pictured is proof that willows have remained the same for 54 to 37 million years.
Millions of fossils unearthed
from all over the world refute the theory of evolution, revealing that plants
have not gone through an evolution but were created.
|
POPLAR LEAF
Period: Cenozoic Era, Eocene epoch
Age: 54 to 37 million years old
Location: USA
This fossil specimen, evidence of the fact that poplars have always existed as poplars, is some 50 million years old. Poplars, having undergone no change at all over 50 million years, reveal that the theory of evolution is nothing but a deception and that evolution has never occurred. The universe, together with all the living things it contains, is the work of Almighty God.
