Sedimentary Rock Formation

A common YEC position is that all, or nearly all, sedimentary rock layers are due to waterborne sediments. This would be particularly true of fossil-bearing layers.Yet, I think traditional geology holds that some of the layers are the result of water-borne sediments that were cemented by minerals while others are the result of wind-carried sediments that have compacted into stone. (And, perhaps, I have over-simplified it).At any rate, I would like to see a discussion of why certain layers could NOT have been the result of water-borne sediments. I refer specifically to fossil-bearing layers that contain fossils of land-dwelling organisms.AbE: I guess it should be noted for those who might not know...I am a YEC.--JasonThis message has been edited by TheLiteralist, 08-29-2005 04:19 AM
