Living Fossils: Anthedons

Here is another example, courtesy of Dr Joachim Scheven, who oversees the world's largest collection of living fossils in his faith-funded creation museum LEBENDIGE VORWELT at Unterm Hagen 22, D-58119 Hagen, Germany.

The fossil crinoid Anthedon (a feathery-looking marine invertebrate) pictured at the bottom was found in the Upper Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone of western Germany. It is supposedly around 150 million years old. Yet the modern-day living Anthedon is virtually identical—showing no evolution has taken place.

The overwhelming message of the fossil record is one of staying the same, not evolving. Of course, many types have gone extinct, and so are not found living. These types also show no sign of real evolution throughout their 'stay' in the record.
