Creation Museum Gains » Catastrophic Fossil Collection

THIS BEAUTIFUL FINNED FOSSIL FISH is part of our collection. We have 5 of these specimens from Lebanon. They all expose the popular evolutionist lie which is repeated in text books and museums: that fish, live, die and fall to the bottom, before they are slowly buried and turned into fossils. The picture perfect preservation shows this fish was buried alive.

Check out the Opalised Clam Shell Block (above left) which has recently been added to our Museum collection, but don’t miss the real find. Yes the closed clams are great evidence of them being buried alive, but better still is the starfish buried with them – stuck in active mode – his arms are still clinging to the shells because the mud he was buried in set rapidly into rock, so he couldn’t let go. Now that’s fast!

Specimens such as these continue to enable us to confound the evolutionists by proving that fossils don’t take a long time to form.

John Mackay with Fantastic huge slab of catastrophically buried crinoids or sea lilies.

Sea lilies were long thought to be extinct but are alive and well in the ocean and have joined the ranks of living fossils which deny evolution and point to God’s creation “after their Kind”, and
this batch were certainly rapidly buried so they are useful in dealing with the widespread belief that fossils take millions of years to form.

The intricate detail preserved in this fossil slab (below) is amazing as well as the evidence they were suddenly overwhelmed by a catastrophic sediment dump. Do you have fossils you can donate to this collection?

The Cuttle Fish fossil (left) is great . We all know it as a sea creature,  so finding the deep sea nautilus type Ammonite is not surprising, but finding it buried with a pine branch tells us this area  is a flood deposit.   
The beauty even of the branch found with the small cones is unbelievable telling us it didn’t lie around waiting to be buried … it was entombed rapidly and preserved for us to see thousands of years later.

Did you spot the evidence the Ammonite with the hammer seems to have  been buried alive? Ammonites had an octopus type creature inside the shell and we were amazed to open it up, and find what appear to be its tentacle suckers still inside. If this proves to be true then they were withdrawn as the frightened animal was being buried and never again extended due to the mud becoming so thick and hard rapidly … it couldn’t even move.  See if you can spot the sucker like structures  in the montage above

All these specimens have come from our visit  to the Jura region of Southern Germany and these fossils from the original Jurassic rocks, are displayed at our Jurassic Ark in Australia joining Jurassic fossils from USA, China, UK etc,  making it a truly international monument to God’s Glory as Creator and Judge. We need help to continue this research

Shown in John’s hand is a great example of a catastrophically deposited animal. Note the Crinoid has its extensive arms trailing behind it and it is buried alongside a starfish whose limbs are still flailing. Both of them were propelled along by a massive current, then dumped and buried before they could even move. These spectacular Australian specimens, only add to the picture of rapid fossil deposition. Again, we need to stress that the devil begins his work by getting you to doubt God’s ability to create the world in 6 days and destroy it in one Noah’s flood. Satan’s aim is to stop you believing that God can recreate you in His image, by the power of His Word, and also condemn unbelievers for eternity with the same powerful word.

Fred Dainty, Garry Watterson and John Mackay spent a hard day’s work installing fabulous new specimens onto their mobile display boxes for our museum. You are quite right. You haven’t seen specimens like this in many museums around the planet. The Lord has truly blessed us. Now have a good close look at the detail, and you will notice there is not the slightest evidence these fossils lay around for vast ages waiting to be slowly buried. That is a major point of our museum collection. Showing that the rocks do not preserve time, defeats one main and very sad reason why many people think they have to reject God’s Word as real history.

MIXED UP MUSEUM SLAB. Can you spot the star fish, mixed with trilobites, mixed with chunks of wood? Most people miss the fact that the star fish and trilobites lie every which way including upside down, sideways and some right way up. This again was not formed when creatures just died and fell to the bottom. Jumbled pieces of land material and water creatures prove differing environments have been torn apart then buried together. A third key point of our museum is if fossil creatures weren’t buried where they are found, then they lived somewhere else, so the rocks don’t represent buried environments. Therefore you can’t simply add up layers one on top of the other and think you are looking at the history of life, when in reality you are just looking at the record of where creatures are dead. Time is not the key, process is.

POLYSTRATE LEAF FIND – This great specimen of a leaf is approximately 2 1/2 cm across and about 12 cm long. It is more great evidence that the entire bed we were collecting from (near Miles, Queensland) was catastrophically dumped, and buried rapidly. You can see the base of the bedding and how this leaf stands sideways through the rock strata. Not one slow grain at a time deposited here. All of this was washed in quickly.

Added to this are pre Cambrian Jellyfish, none of which can become fossils unless they are buried very rapidly. Time is not in the rocks it is in people’s heads. Likewise it proves Jellyfish have never evolved. Students need to see such evidence.

DROWNING ANSWER. The fact that this famous fossil bird drowned, shows in the bent up tail bones and the flexed over neck. This has proven a sure clue, whether it’s dinosaur, mammal or bird, that the creature has been rapidly drowned and then quickly buried before the body could relax.

NOTE ALSO the shell – an AMMONITE found in YUNAN CHINA is buried with land plant material (small black bits), while the shell is ‘polystrate’ (poly means many … strate means layers). To find a deep sea shell buried with land plant remains is wonderful evidence of flood deposition, plus finding it buried crossing the bed layers (polystrate position) is more evidence it was all covered very rapidly. A closer view reveals the plant bits are torn, but not fuzzy round the edges, so they were not ‘chewed on’ by bacteria for ages before being buried. All this happened quickly! Flood evidence is everywhere.
