Many people think it must’ve taken millions of years for us to get the billions of fossils we have today. But the fossil record shows evidence of rapid burial.

Jellyfish don’t have any hard parts, so they decay within hours—yet we have perfectly preserved jellyfish fossils.

Here at the Creation Museum, we have a fossil of a fish eating another fish. It was buried so fast, it didn’t even have time to finish dinner!

The Bible provides an explanation for these rapidly buried fossils. The global flood of Noah’s day would’ve ripped up miles of sediment and then laid it back down, rapidly burying creatures all over the world.
