The evolutionists’ cry that ostracod gametes are 17 million years old defies common sense.

… However, that isn’t the only challenge for the evolutionary paradigm. The supposedly millions-of-years-old ostracod fossils that Archer and his team examined from the famous Riversleigh fossil deposits in Queensland, Australia, were beautifully preserved, to the point of “three-dimensional subcellular preservation”.2 That’s what enabled the researchers to study the gametes and internal reproductive organs in great detail.

 “Nobody has ever seen sperm fossilised like this before,” said Professor Archer. “We get used to fossil bones and teeth but we did not expect the soft tissues would also preserve for 17 million years.” 1

Such was the degree of subcellular preservation that the researchers could make out the coiled nuclei in the sperm. (See photo above.) “We’ve never seen the intracellular structures preserved before,” said Archer. “It’s the nature of this preservation that has boggled everybody’s mind.”
