Fresh Water and Salt Water Don't Mix by Tim Clarey, Ph.D.
"...The first display was a beautifully preserved fossil herring with signage stating, 'Modern herring live in salt water, but close Eocene relatives were abundant in the fresh water lakes of western North America.' A second display featured a spectacularly preserved fossil ray and claimed, 'Rays are rarely preserved as fossils, in part because their skeletons are made of cartilage rather than bone. Most rays prefer salt water, making this fresh water form an even more remarkable fossil...' In a recent Acts & Facts article, I discussed several similar examples of marine and terrestrial environments mixing within the same rock layer.1 Five species of sharks have been found in the same strata as T. rex fossils. And the deep-ocean-dwelling coelacanth fish has been found in rock layers with the dinosaur Spinosaurus...Contrary to the claims of uniformitarian scientists, there is no evidence that these fish lived in fresh water and somehow evolved to live in salt water—the claims are entirely speculative. These fossils are nearly identical to modern fish found only in the ocean. The spectacular preservation of these specimens serves as a stunning testament to rapid burial and the globe-sweeping catastrophic nature of the floodwaters..." See ICR article below.
