FOSSIL SPECIMENS DISCOVERED IN ITALY

FOSSIL SPECIMENS DISCOVERED

IN ITALY

Much of Italy's rock structure consists of what was once the floor of the Tethys Sea, known to have covered certain parts of early Europe. Geological research has shown that the Tethys Sea emerged with the splitting up of Pangaea, the sole continent on Earth around 165 million years ago. The Tethys Sea, which covered a very large area, had tropical characteristics since it was very close to the Equator. The Mediterranean Sea emerged some 65 million years ago from within the Tethys Sea. As land areas rose, it was gradually pushed northwards as a result of tectonic movements over geological periods lasting millions of years.

The Italian rock beds, once the floor of the Tethys Sea, contain a large number of marine fossils, showing that all the known species of marine life forms emerged suddenly with their complex structures—in other words, they were created out of nothing. There are no fossils to indicate that these life forms derived from any supposed common ancestor or are descended from one another. Darwinism has been defeated in the face of the fossil record, a defeat that has been brought out into the light by hundreds of millions of fossil specimens.

Marble deposits are generally found under oceans or floors of mountain ranges once populated with coral reefs. Pictured is a marble deposit in the Italian Alps.

The Butterloch Canyon in Italy has a rock structure dating back to the Permian Period (290 to 248 million years ago).

RAZORFISH

Age: 6 million years old

Location: Fiume, Marecchia, Italy

Period: Upper Miocene

Razorfish’s (family: Centriscidae) bodies are encased in shields and have spiny dorsal fins. The razorfish pictured is 6 million years old and possesses exactly the same characteristics as razorfish living today. This shows that razorfish have remained unchanged for millions of years and have never gone through any intermediate stages.

SEAHORSE

Age: 26 million years old

Size: 5 centimeters (2 in)

Location: Italy

Period: Miocene

With structures that have remained unchanged for millions of years, seahorses, which belong to the family Syngnathidae, are one of the many species that challenge the theory of evolution. The fossil seahorse pictured is 26 million years old, and identical to seahorses living today.

YELLOWTAIL

Age: 48 million years old

Size: 19.6 centimeters (7.7 in)

Location: Monte Bolca, Verona, Italy

Period: Eocene

One of the fossil fish species discovered in Italy is the yellowtail. The fossil pictured is 48 million years old. That yellowtails of 48 million years ago were the same as those living today shows that the theory of evolution is untrue.

DRAGONFLY LARVA

Age: 10 million years old

Size: 42 millimeters (1.6 in) by 35 millimeters (1.3 in)

Location: Vittoria d'Alba, Cuneo, Italy

Period: Upper Miocene

Like their fossilized adults, the fossils of dragonfly larvae show that evolution never happened. There is no difference between the 10-million-year-old dragonfly larva pictured and today's larvae. This reveals that the theory of evolution is a myth.

PIPEFISH

Age: 23 to 5 million years old

Size: 25 centimeters (10 in)

Location: Marecchia River, Paggio Berni, Italy

Period: Miocene, Messinian Stage

Pipefish, members of the same suborder as the seahorse, have a long, thin body structure—and also one of the living fossils that invalidate evolution. The fossil pipefish pictured is 23 to 5 million years old and identical to present-day specimens.
