Supplemental Reading
A. Catastrophic deposition | | 1. Fossils 2. Turbidites | | | | a. | Definition: A large underwater deposit laid down by catastrophic water currents. | | | b. | Turbidite deposits look exactly like deposits in Appalachian Mountains. Many deposits that were originally considered to have been formed by slow processes are being reinterpreted as turbidite deposits.
| | 3. An example of deposition from Mt. St. Helens | | a. 600 ft. deposited in days
b. Finely laminated layers
(Finely laminated layers were previously considered as the result of slow and gradual process. They are now being reinterpreted as the result of rapid deposits.)
| 4. Boulders demonstrate evidence for a catastrophic deposition | | a. | East San Diego County has layers of boulders, this requires a catastrophe. | | | b. | Grand Canyon's lowest layer of tapeats sandstone has boulders. | | | c. | Boulders are found in the Basal Conglomerate (the bottom layer of the Cambrian System), which is what you would expect if the Flood occurred. |
| B. Regional stratigraphy | | 1. Widespread coal beds
2. Widespread sandstone beds (U. S. and Canada); similar to beach sand
3. Tapeats sandstone in Grand Canyon, Chicago, and Pennsylvania
