A rare frilled shark, whose species dates back 80 million years,
was caught in a fishing trawler off Australia's coast.
"It's a freaky thing," Simon Boag, the chief executive officer at South East Trawl Fishing Association, told Australia's ABC Rural. "I don't think you would want to show it to little children before they went to bed."
The association said the frilled shark is often referred to as a
"living fossil." It is described as having an eel-like body with three fins on its back. It gets its name from the six pairs of gill slits that give it a fringed appearance.
The sea creature (taxonomically known as
Chlamydoselachus anguineus and referred to by some as a "living fossil") is indeed real, an eel-like shark whose ancestry dates back <nobr>80 million</nobr> years.

more evidence for evolution sharks that don't change for 80 million years ... because the ocean environment hasn't changed in 80 million years right?
An international team of researchers has decoded the genome of the
African coelacanth. The species was once thought to be extinct, but a living coelacanth was discovered off the African coast in 1938. Coelacanths today closely resemble the fossilized skeletons of their more than
300-million-year-old ancestors.

Horse Shoe Crabs are seen in the fossil record
450 million years ago...Also known as the comb jelly,
ctenophores first emerged
700 million years ago. They look like striped jelly blobs that flit through the sea propelled by rows of cilia. Biologists say these are
the oldest known animals...
Crab & jelly Fish like thing 450 and 700 million years ... because the ocean environment hasn't changed in 300 million years right?
the sharks and fish live in the deep sea and the ctenophores and horseshoe crabs live in the shallows but the neither environment has changed enough for the "need" to evolve. and nothing in them passively compelled change harmful or helpful.
That's it's evidence for something, but not evolution it'd seem to me.
And here's something else. If we "1st see" these SAME fossil animals so long ago wouldn't that mean that they had to evolve into that over some time. we're told the Cambrian explosion took place apx 500 million years ago where the basic body styles of animals just SHOW UP without any ancestry.
Darwin even admitted along this line,
“Why then is not every geological formation and every strata full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely-graduated organic chain; and this perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against my theory.”
Charles Darwin
