Re: Summary
What is a segregated flow? Can you give us an example of a segregated flow sorting shells according to species? Can you give us an example of a segregated flow or anything else transporting shells around in such a way as to leave the arrangement of the shells looking just the same as beds of undisturbed shells?

Re: Just asking
Marine deposits, like shells, would only be found below the k-t line.
​
But there are in fact Tertiary marine sedimentary rocks, as you could have found out by googling on tertiary marine sedimentary rocks.

Re: Summary
Such a chaos of powerfully moving water could only do such actions of being segregated and desposting material in segregated flows.
​
Do you know what the word "example" means?

It is true that they got there because of the flood.Now this happend because the water had to rise above the highest point on earth so there was no escape from death.So the shells rise with the water because certain organisims can only live so deep in the water,and then when the water goes down they are left stranded on the mountain.
​
In the mountain. They are in the rocks, not just on the surface.
​
As to how oyster beds and coral reefs climb mountains, you have not proposed any details and I'd like to see you try. And having climbed up, as you claim, why couldn't they climb down again?

I think he's talking about what would happen at the end of the flood when the waters receeded. Though I'm not sure he's thought it through very carefully.
