Re: Ah yes, Rationalization is a Wonderful Scientific Tool
They were looking for the evidence in particular layers, not in the entire geological column.
You remember how I proved that you were completely wrong about that? So you should probably stop saying it. Once you did so out of ignorance, now it smacks of dishonesty.

Re: Ah yes, Rationalization is a Wonderful Scientific Tool
No I don't remember.
Perhaps you should try to retain facts in your memory rather than fictions.
Doesn't matter though, there IS a ton of evidence for the rapid deposition of the entire column.
... which generations of practicing geologists couldn't find even though they were looking for it in the geological record, but which you have apparently discovered single-handed while barely glancing at a rock.
I'll try to make a list of it.
Good. You do that.

Re: Igneous rock over sedimentary layers
Alternating layers of diatomite and volcanic tuff.
I wonder if Faith has a Floodist explanation.

Re: Moderator Provided Information, that's wrong
A precipitate is a sediment and as such it is sedimentary. Limestone can be the result of chemical precipitation, biological activity, or clastic deposition or combinations of these. So salt, anhydrite, gypsum, limestone and dolomite are sedimentary.
But we were talking about diatomite and volcanic tuff. They didn't precipitate. Percy's reply: "Precipitation and sedimentation are two different things. [...] The Earth's sedimentary layers consist primarily of sediments, not precipitates" is perfectly accurate. If he had said "THERE ARE NO PRECIPITATES IN THE GEOLOGICAL RECORD YOU FOOL", then he would have needed putting right.

Re: Moderator Provided Information, that's wrong
So how do you explain the layering of the diatomite and tuff? The layers look like all the other layers which were deposited from water.
I should say that the diatomite was caused by the deposition of diatoms and the volcanic tuff was caused by the eruption of a volcano. Are we in agreement so far? And I would say that the reason for the alternation between the two is that the two causes alternated.

Re: Moderator Provided Information, that's wrong
You do not explain the even layering.
I said : "The diatomite was caused by the deposition of diatoms and the volcanic tuff was caused by the eruption of a volcano."
What did you expect it to look like? How does it fall short of your expectations?

Re: The geological range of the tapeats / redwall
In there being any correlation whatever between a rock type and a time period.
In there being a pattern of time periods marked by rock types that repeats up the entire geo column.
You have repeatedly been informed that any given time period will have lots of rock types. So it seems that the "strangeness" here is all in your head.
As usual.
