Global Flood Sediments

[-57]

Really? Then I guess the flood receded and came back again. The Coconino Sandstone is terrestrial, complete with foottie prints. How do you explain that?

That's simple. The answer has een known for a long time now.
An animal walked on the soft mud..perhaps in this instance laid down during one of the tides....then the next tide covered them up.

They were wind blown desert sand dunes. Kind of hard to have one those in the middle of a global flood.

Quick burial doesn't require a flood to occur. Swampy or soggy ground can do the trick. Also, plenty of the positions of the fossils do not indicate death by flood. For instance, obvious predation based deaths.

We find far to many fossils buried to say a swamp or soggy ground creaed them all.

Who?



Why does it have to be the same flood? Natural floods are quite common on this planet.



'Required' is a stretch. Rapid burial certainly helps, but it's not completely necessary. For instance, we've found fossils that show signs of being gnawed on after death, which would indicate they were exposed to the air a while.

Yes...but not for long. If they had laid around for a while they would have been gnawed on much more...or even torn apart, spread out and decayed.

A quick burial shortly after death is a beter explanation.

Flume test show otherwise.
have the evo-scientist conducted flume test? The YEC's have.

There are far too many fossils to have been alive all at once. There is a geologic formation that covers a large part of the US. In places that is nearly 2,000 feet thick, and it is almost entirely made up of little body plates from this animal:

"Crinoidal limestones, such as the Mission Canyon-Livingstone unit, provide an estimate, even though it be of necessity a rough one, of their abundance in the clear shallow seas they loved. In the Canadian Rockies the Livingstone limestone was deposited to a thickness of 2,000 feet on the margin of the Cordilleran geosyncline, but it thins rapidly eastward to a thickness of about 1,000 feet in the Front Ranges and to about 500 feet in the Williston Basin. Even though its crinoidal content decreases eastward, it may be calculated to represent at least 10,000 cubic miles of broken crinoid plates. How many millions, billions trillions of crinoids would be required to provide such a deposit? The number staggers the imagination.

There is enough fossils of just this one animal to cover the entire earth to a depth of at least 3 inches. Obviously, a single flood in a single year could not produce the fossils we see. There are even more deposits that pose the very same problems, such as the Karoo formation.

Show us the results. Show us a 35% repose angle created by tides coming in and out.

No, those are eolian deposits, no tides or mud.
