FOSSIL NO:SF0018
AGE:50 million years
TERM:Eocene
LOCATION:Cache Creek Formation, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada



LIVING SPECIMENS:



OTHER INFORMATION:
From Canada"s fossil fields, numbers of fossil mooneye fish have been encountered. All these fossils show that mooneye fish have been the same for millions of years. This million year-old stability—no change in physical structure—is an important proof that evolution has never happened.

  1. The fish you picture here is not a mooneye (Hiodon tergisus) but a goldeye (Hiodon alosoides)
