Re: Summation
The strata, below the k-t line for this creationist, is simply what looks like. Segregated flows. so there is no reason to expect to find the whole strata everywhere on earth. in fact there are great gaps as we would expect.
it looks like flow events within a single great event put this layer or that on top of this.
Why not?
why imagine an unlikely case of millions of years of different layering from great events to account for the layering.

Re: Summation
I'm just replying to the question with a answer from a common creationist point of view.
I'm not derailing anything.
I don't understand the claim that my replys are only assertions?
Its a reply!
How can there be a conversation?

Re: Response to Zen and Taq
I'm not sure of the claimed date of this fossil bed.
Yet there is no reason to see it other then it is.A very special case of a collection of life preserved and turned to stone by a special SINGLE event.
The trampling can just be because the creatures were drowning and panicing. The scavenging might just be minor impulses of some of the creatures to seek food in the disaster or are just biting each other in fear or in the way.
It could all be from a quick event dealing with rising water.
If its below the k-t line.

Re: Response to Zen and Taq
The date changes things.
this would be above the k-t line and to this YEC dude it means a post flood event.
So it could be from events lasting over a few years and so scavenging could happen.
Still water actions can do anything where segregated flow events are going on.
What happened here was either volcanic coverings or the movement of sediment over the land that covered the creatures to a small depth. then later more movement of sediment would of followed and covered the rest.
indeed the fossils are likely not to have been turned to stone as this happens from great pressure upon deposition like in the great flood.
these later actions are not as powerful and so bones not so encased.
I see these events as happening at most over a few years but probably less then ten years and this about a few centuries after the flood.
So about 2100 to 1900 BC.
