Living fossils are not consistent with long ages of the earth for several reasons:1) Gene Mutational Load appears to be increasing in all life forms. It is detrimental to each of them. The complex structures of a Dragonfly would not be expected to be preserved unchanged over a 200 million year period of time.2) Similar C14/C12 ratios throughout the stratas of the earth strongly argue against the traditional millions to billions of estimated years of the earth. They are more consistent with a short time period and rapid sequential deposition of stratas. 3) The preservation and fossilization of Dragonflies on different continents of the earth can be consistent with a worldwide catastrophic watery event.

Fossil Schilderia: a fossil tree, is found within clayey sanstone strata in Arizona. One trunk,left, is crushed with rays still intact; and the other non-crushed has rays intact as well. Both fossil trunks are from nearby areas but have very different minerals involved in the fossilization process. Red, pink, and orange=ferric iron,black= manganese, and white natural quartz, and both would have silica. Each is without bark and probably limbs (but one is too short to notice).There is no evidence of degradation of the woody portion of the trunk. The strata, consistent with flood strata, in which these fossils are found are present throughout the Southwest US and even the Eastern US. However, schilderia was initially identified from Adamana AZ. The areas where these fossils are found are now High Desert (6500 ft above sea level). They represent examples of what appears to have been massive flooding and subsequent uplifting of the land in the past-and probably a "recent" past. See section on Geology in the Creation/evolution section of this website-for further explanation.
This large fossil fish,xiphactinus, is about three meters long in length. It has within it a smaller fish,one meter,that appears to have been swallowed by the larger one. Neither fish shows signs of deterioration, the arching of the spine is consistent with a traumatic death.It was found in designated Late Cretaceous strata. It is reasonable to assume that the larger fish was overwhelmed by a large flood muddy slurry soon after the smaller fish had been eaten. Because of the size of the larger fish the fossil evidence is consistent with a flood event that occurred within a large sea or ocean or worldwide flood.Thus, it does support a large rapid muddy flooding event-possibly Noah's Flood. (Fish was at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History Wash. D.C.)
