^ I read in a mainstream source that turbidite deposits make up half of the geo-column. Huge sand waves and rapid correlated paleocurrents are the norm in the Paleozoic for example. Lyell was wrong about most of the geo-column.

^ This gradual morphology up the geo-col is definetly not everywhere as you know! If the flood occurred it must have been a flood of surges and there would have been times/places of constant current )(as suggested by the paleocurrents) that could very easily have sorted shell shapes approximately just as one gets graded pebble sizes (which is suggestive of the flood too). But it was a process and it had cyclical stages.
