With the supposed transition from one life form to another occurring by standard evolutionary concepts one would not expect stasis of a life forms through hundreds of millions of years. The data is much more supportive of a young age for the earth and thus fossil forms are probably not as old as some have assumed. As well, some fossil forms are found on several different continents-supporting the idea of one land mass in the past and of a worldwide flood destroying that land mass.There are many examples in the botanical and biologic realm.

"A New Scientist article ponders a baffling enigma to evolutionists—‘living fossils’. These are creatures alive today which are identical to fossilised forms, believed to have lived ‘millions of years ago.’ Examples include the coelacanth fish (fossil coelacanths are believed by evolutionists to be 340 million years old), Gingko trees (125 million years), crocodiles (140 million years), horseshoe crabs (200 million years), the Lingula lamp shell (450 million years), Neopilinamolluscs (500 million years), and the tuatara lizard (200 million years). This poses a conundrum for evolution: ‘Why have these life-forms stayed the same for all that time?’"
