The Geologic Column
and its Implications for the Flood Copyright 2001 by Glenn Morton [Last Update: February 17, 2001] http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/geocolumn/ Glenn Morton discusses a section of sedimentary rock in North Dakota, which span the periods of the Phanerazoic.

I'm looking for the physical evidence of the flood, and in the bigger picture, how the entire geologic record fits into the creation story.

Moose, (or a creationist),
It occurred to me that the iridium layer at the K-T boundary would provide problems for the "flood model". If the layer has a higher concentration of iridium than lava, how did a THIN global layer of iridium rich rock appear in the turbulent waters of the flood?

The area of "Great Flood" discussion, that I'm trying to push in this topic, has started to show up in another topic.
From http://www.evcforum.net/cgi-bin/dm.cgi?action=msg&f=2&t=38&m=63#63 , is the following:

--An irridium rich meteor? Does irridium float, unless it does, I don't think it is logical to start. ------------------

"JM: Yes, the element iridium is relatively enriched in meteors. I fail to follow your question about whether it floats or not."
--Yes, though of course we know that it varies considerably in quantity from type to type. My inquisition on its floating capability was my slightly sarcastic assertion in my wonder of what problem mark24 is attempting to point out for this observation and the Flood event: quote: --Right now my best guess is that he assumed that I did not accept a meteoric origin. ------------------ [This message has been edited by TrueCreation, 04-20-2002]

No, TC the problem is laying down a fine layer enriched in iridium during a tempest. Such an event is unlikely.

--Not really, it needs a gap in sedimentation for iridium to condense, also, it is comparable with osmium, both being questionably at the peak of highest elemental density. The element would rain right down. ------------------
