Jellyfish fossils show little difference from living jellyfish.
Jellyfish fossils show no evolution
Thousands of impressions of stranded jellyfish have been found in sandstone in a Wisconsin quarry.
Jellyfish fossils are rarely found because they have no hard parts, so they decay rapidly. At more than 50 centimeters in diameter, these are the largest ever found.
Paleontologist James Hagadorn, of the California Institute of Technology, led the team who found the jellyfish impressions, which are supposedly 500 million years old.
He said the impressions bear the telltale rings that marooned jellyfish make when trying to escape by pumping their umbrella-like bodies.
"These structures are dead ringers for the type of structures modern jellyfish make when stranded," Hagadorn said. (Refs: Geology (vol.30, p.147) and New Scientist, 27 January 2002.)
Isn't that interesting? In 500 million years jellyfish structures haven't changed a bit, yet evolutionists believe that in this same time all the immense varieties of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals evolved.
In fact, you can look at the allegedly “oldest” fossil found of almost anything — flea, bat, spider, coelacanth, tuatara, ant, whatever — and it will be similar to today's examples. So what actually has evolved? By the look of it, absolutely nothing!
