Fine layering was produced within hours at Mt St Helens
So what? Are you saying that prior to 1980 no scientist believed rapid sedimentation could take place in the aftermath of a volcanic eruption? It's not so easy to speculate about rapid stratification when a stratum with evidence of extensive weathering is buried beneath a stratum containing fossilized sea creatures, buried in turn below a weathered stratum and another with aquatic fossils. Such strata are seen in the Grand Canyon area. At the Bay of Fundie (no pun intended) in Canada, there are several fossil forests buried one on top of the other. This does not indicate rapid stratification.
