FOSSIL SPECIMENS DISCOVERED
IN MOROCCO
A large number of fossils from different periods have been discovered in Morocco, well known for its 400-million-year old trilobite fossils. Excavations in the Atlas Mountains and various other areas have revealed Morocco's rich fossil beds.
Most frequently encountered in Morocco are echinoid fossils. Echinoid, the general name for sea urchins, is actually the name given to a broad range of invertebrate marine organisms. There are more than 800 species of these creatures, which generally live on the sea bed, and specimens dating back 450 million years can be found. Echinoids have been in existence for nearly half a billion years, with all their complex structures and flawless mechanisms, which in fact deals another severe blow to the theory of evolution. These creatures, with all their structures fully developed, lived at a time when evolutionists claim that life was supposedly very primitive. And many of them are still alive today, with those exact same structures. They have remained unchanged for hundreds of millions of years and never undergone evolution.
SEA URCHIN
Age: 146 to 65 million years old
Size: 5.4 centimeters (2.2 in)
Location: Morocco
Formation: Echinoid Beds
Period: Cretaceous
There is no difference between present-day sea urchins and those that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. The fossil sea urchins illustrated here lived between 146 and 65 million years ago. They show that living creatures did not evolve, but have had the same characteristics and systems since the moment they were created.
TRILOBITE
Age: 410 to 360 million years old
Size: 5 centimeters (2 in)
Location: Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Period: Devonian
The first examples of trilobites date from about 530 million years ago in the Devonian fossil record. Because of their complex structure and developed systems, they are difficult for Darwinists to explain. Their sudden appearance in the fossil record about half a billion years ago, together with a very complex eye structure, makes it impossible to explain them in terms of evolution. It is clear that trilobites, like all other creatures, were created by God.
NEEDLEFISH
Age: 100 million years old
Size: 203 millimeters (7.9 in); matrix: 113 millimeters (4.4 in) by 185 millimeters (7.2 in)
Location: Ramlia Taouz, Morocco
Period: Cretaceous
This fish, 203 millimeters (7.9 in) long, is an adult, whose details have been well preserved. There is no difference between needlefish that lived millions of years ago and their counterparts living today. Needlefish have survived for millions of years with no change in their structures, showing that the theory of evolution is false.
STARFISH
Age: 420 million years old
Size: 5.7 centimeters (2.3 in)
Location: Ordovician Mecissi, Morocco
Formation: Kataoua Formation
Period: Ordovician
With their thorny exteriors, starfish (phylum: Echinodermata) have survived for hundreds of millions of years. Starfish alive 420 million years ago had the same characteristics as those alive today. This is a fact that evolutionists will never be able to explain, showing that living creatures did not evolve, but were created.
TRILOBITE
Age: 400 million years old
Location: Morocco
Period: Devonian
The fossil record does not support the claims of the theory of evolution. On the contrary, when we examine the fossil record in the Earth's strata, we see that living things emerged suddenly. The deepest stratum at which fossils have been found is the Cambrian, about 530 million years old. One of the fossils found most frequently in this stratum are those of tribolites. In the world of 530 million years ago, trilobites had eyes composed of many lenses—an excellent structure that allowed them to see to hunt and swim toward their prey. This sophisticated structure has dealt a serious blow to the theory of evolution.
SEA URCHIN
Age: 146 to 65 million years old
Size: 3.5 centimeters (1.4 in)
Location: Morocco
Formation: Echinoid Beds
Period: Cretaceous
The oldest examples of sea urchins date from the Ordovician Period. They have not changed in about half a billion years, which proves that these creatures did not evolve.
SEA URCHIN
Age: 95 to 72 million years old
Size: 2.5 centimeters (1 in)
Location: Midlet, Morocco
Period: Late Cretaceous
Sea urchins living millions of years ago were no different from those alive today. They have undergone no structural changes in at least 72 million years. This shows that the theory of evolution is false.
SEA URCHIN
Age: 95 to 72 million years old
Size: 4 centimeters (1.6 in) by 4.5 centimeters (1.8 in)
Location: Taouz, Morocco
Period: Late Cretaceous
There is no difference between sea urchins that lived 95 to 72 million years ago and those alive today. Sea urchins, that have not changed in all these millions of years, are proof that living things did not evolve.
SAND DOLLAR
Age: 100 million years old
Location: Taza Province, Morocco
Formation: Continental Sandstone Deposits
Period: Cretaceous
Sand dollars, sea urchins, starfish, crinoids and sea cucumbers are all species that belong to the phylum Echinodermata. Sand dollars have survived for some half a billion years and have struck a severe blow to the theory of evolution. Their structure has not changed for millions of years, which invalidates the theory of evolution's claims that they developed stage by stage from other living things.
STARFISH
Age: 500 to 440 million years old
Size: 8.6 centimeters (3.4 in)
Location: Morocco
Formation: Hefalla Sandstone Formation
Period: Ordovician
This starfish fossil is about 500 million years old—a rare specimen whose characteristics have been very well preserved. The starfish's characteristic five arms have come down to the present time unchanged. There is no difference between starfish that lived half a billion years ago and the starfish of today. Like hundreds of thousands of other fossils, this one also shows that living things did not evolve and have undergone no change for hundreds of millions of years.
SEA URCHIN
Age: 95 to 72 million years old
Size: 2.5 centimeters (1 in)
Location: Midlet, Morocco
Period: Late Cretaceous
Sea urchins that lived 95 to 72 million years ago are among the millions of fossils that prove that evolution did not take place. These fossils are exactly like today's sea urchins, and are a proof that God created living things.
SEA URCHIN
Age: 146 to 65 million years old
Size: 3.8 centimeters(1.5 in)
Location: Morocco
Formation: Echinoid Beds
Period: Cretaceous
This fossil of a sea urchin, obtained from the Echinoid stratum in Morocco dating from between 146 and 65 million years ago, is one of the countless proofs of creation. There is no difference between today's sea urchins and those that lived millions of years ago.
