So why does the Late Cretaceous bird Ichthyornis occur lower than the Clupeidae (the herring family), which is Early Eocene to Recent?Obviously birds will end higher up than fish, because of their volume to weight ratio.
The meanders in the Grand Canyon were originally formed as the water slowly made them. Once the template was made.....the water from the Hopi and Grand lakes created as the flood waters receded....spilled through their damns and the following the template gourged out the meanders to their current depth.I notice that when you tried to use Mt. St. Helens as an explanation for entrenched meanders, the story fell apart. There never have been gullies at Mt. St. Helens with the sort of hairpin turns you see in entrenched meanders, and of course, gullies at the eruption site collapse if they get more than a few meters high, while entrenched meanders have vertical walls hundreds of meters high.
I'm guessing you were never there; if you had been, you would have realized this.
Why don't we find lobsters next to trilobites, or arthrodires next to herrings?

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyornis and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clupeidae
Also to be explained would be why fossils of the Ichthyornis are found in chalk formations and not mud as suggested. That is the main reason that disqualifies a flood as an explanation for the distribution of the geologic fossil record. What is ignored is composition of the strata and processes in which they are deposited.
Unless the chalk was deposited quickly.....you would not have Ichthyornis fossils. Then again you already knew that.
Chalk deposits do not form quickly. Do you know what they are comprised of?
The formation of your fossil disagrees. Why do you fight the obvious?
Go find a lake....throw in a dead clam and a dead cat...and a dead snake. What order will they settle to the bottom in?
I can't try the experiment, not having any dead animals to hand. However, the oldest known fossil snakes are Jurassic, the oldest known fossil felid (Proailurus) is Late Oligocene or Early Miocene, and the fossil gastropod Murexsul hexagonus is Early Pleistocene. Does that help?Go find a lake....throw in a dead clam and a dead cat...and a dead snake. What order will they settle to the bottom in?

It is impossible to explain the fossil record using natural science if the animals did not die by natural causes.The fossil record is distributed throughout earth's sedimentary strata from the oldest and simplest life forms progressively becoming more and more complex and diversified with respect to time, environmental conditions and extinction events in such a manner as to suggest evolution according to the mainstream scientific community.
In this thread I am issuing a specific challenge.
Explain the fossil record contained in earth's sedimentary strata without evolution.
In doing this you are required to utilize science and only science.

No, that won't work. This kind of thing never happens that way. There's no way a sudden rush of water would do it. You're supposing that in less than a year, water confined to a small stream, would cut down hundreds of meters into solid rock. Even if it could, the mechanics of stream bed formation would have cut though the meanders to make a straighter bed. The meanders formed because an old river was uplifted, which trapped the river in its bed, after which it cut down through the rock over many thousands of years.
They would all float, even dead fish float because of gases produced during decomposition.

All we can do is speculate.
No, you're wrong.....it wasn't a small stream that gourged out the canyon but rather an entire lake.
Secondly, the Colorado rive is considered as underfit and couldn't have carved out the Grand canyon.
You know the clam will sink.They would all float, even dead fish float because of gases produced during decomposition.
