[QUOTE="doubtingmerle, post: 77017052, member: 6687"] Your first explanation of the sedimentary layers, that these are large dumping grounds of fossils, makes no sense. The fossil layers are huge. They are filled with signs of life as the layers were layed down, including animal burrows through the layers and footprints. We see things like buried forests and sand dunes in the deposits. These were obviously part of the environment as they were put in place. Regarding the size, take a look at this map of the Michigan Basin. It is bigger than the state of Michigan, and is over 3 miles deep. (The numbers in the map are the depth in feet to the base Precambrian rocks.)

Yes, in the maps above, each layer has characteristic fossils throughout the layer. If you drill anywhere in Michigan, you find things in the same order. The order of the periods is the same worldwide, except in special cases where it is clear that the rock layers were folded back over or under the other layers. [/QUOTE]
