Here is one particular example that it is not.

"Evolution says that all life has evolved from a common ancestor, so why is the fossil record full of animals that have not changed?"

According to journal "Evolution Dismantled", scientists claim that, "The most common evolutionary response is that ‘living fossils’ were so well adapted that they did not need to evolve. However, this "is a ‘just-so’ story used to explain the problem away"

An example of erroneous assumption is the fact that an extinct fish and its modern version (supposedly millions of years appart) has less similarities between each other than different types of present-day dogs breeds. In other words dog breeds have higher variety between each other, than supposedly "millions of years old" fossils and their modern day stasis equivalent species.

The same article quoted above said, "A dinosaur-age fish called the ‘coelacanth’ is just one example (more variation exists between dogs than the old and current coelacanths").
