Paleocurrents: the 'diverse' features of the GC were laid via rapid, correlated flow

http://www.evcforum.net/Images/Smilies/smile.gif[/IMG]I can easilly agree with Tranquillity that this is an area which quantifiably is explained with ease by Flood Hydrology. If mind serves me right, Tranquillity has the impression that mesozoic+sediments are post-flood or atleast indicate the process through which abating flood waters occured. I would disagree [unless I misunderstand him] and say that these would indicate flow paths by which the waters drifted above the continents. Here is one resource which I found with a bit data for paleocurrent lothologies: http://geology.swau.edu/ [Added by edit - Just noticed Chadwick as the same author as your reference Tranquillity]--Its a bit tougher to find paleocurrent than topographical maps [IMG]------------------<img src=http://www.promisoft.100megsdns.com/thumbnail.jpg><font size="1" color="#ffffff" face="Verdana, Arial">[This message has been edited by TrueCreation, 06-12-2002]</FONT><font size="1" color="#ffffff" face="Verdana, Arial">[This message has been edited by TrueCreation, 06-12-2002]</FONT>

"This is a nice assertion, but WHY? Why would the current directions for you flood be any different from the current directions from the existing flood of today (the existing seas)?"
--Are you expecting flood waters to lay perfectly still while they inundate the worlds continent(s)? There are many factors by which this would effect flood hydrology in prevailing currents sea-wide. I believe baumgardner and Barnette did some modeling of ocean circulation patterns over the continents as the Flood occurred. I haven't gotten the chance to read it though and I am not sure on their exact stances, nor did they take into account paleocurrents.------------------

"Gene90, so how did these hoodoos form from a mainstream POV? "
--Pretty much exactly the way they formed in our perspective, g-whiz who would have ever thought of that ------------------

"Hard rock capping a limestone (or similar) base. Add eons of rain.Of course, lateral motion from a flood would topple it."
--Are we aware of any "paleohoodoo's"? I may have to come to accept a Cenozoic+ sediment post-flood deposition after all.------------------
