Absurd YEC claims about the Coconino Sandstones.

Here we go again....

Read it again Sam.

They were sand dunes that bordered on a sea so there was wet sand and dry sand.

Some of the most unusual and rare trace fossils in the world come from the eolian Coconino Sandstone. These ancient fossil sand dunes contain a record of a desert vertebrate and invertebrate fauna that lived near a large inland sea. This is the same sea that produced the wonderful carbonate beds of the Kaibab and Toroweap formations. Trace fossils include Merostomatid (spider), Scorpionid, Centipede trackways, possible euripterid tracks, and multitudes of a dog sized mammal like reptile foot impressions and trackways called Laoporis.We have also found tree bark impressions, worm burrows, wave ripples and raindrop marks. Gorgeous sweeping crossbedded units are common in this preserved sand sea (erg).

There are many kinds of worms that live and burrow in intertidal sand including lugworms and sand mason worms for example.

Here is picture of some burrows from the Bright Angel Shale

Burrows and other evidences of bioturbation are common throughout the Grand Canyon Sediments. How did these burrow form in sediments that were supposedly transported into the area from long distances away by a worldwide flood?

Now how about explaining how animals made tracks in sand dunes by running up them as they were being formed in water 300 feet deep? How about explaining how there were any animals alive to make those tracks? How about explaining how insects made tracks in sand as it was being deposited from 300 foot deep water that had brought it from hundreds of miles away. How about explaining how water moving at a walking pace could carry 10,000 cubic miles of sand hundreds of miles and then spread it over thousands of square miles in a "few days"?

Or how about just realizing that Snelling and Austin's scenario is totally absurd and shows that "flood geology" is completely bogus?

the frumious Bandersnatch

Since the subject of the Grand Canyon has come up again I thought I would bump this superb example of the absurdity of "flood geology" in reference to the Grand Canyon.

Bumped because the footprints in the Coconino sandstones have come up on another thread. Unfortunately some of the links in the OP don't work anymore but I think it does show just how ridiculous some "flood geology" claims are.
