“The specimen is inferred to represent a five-year-old individual and to be at a young adult ontogenetic stage, based on a combination of histological features including narrower outermost zones, dense haversian bone, extensive and multiple endosteal bone depositional events and absence of an external fundamental system. d, Close up of the gastroliths scale bar, 2 cm.”
“If your claim is that the “k-p line” is the boundary between “flood” and post-“flood” depositional environments, then perhaps you could explain why the depositional environment of the sediments underlying the volcanic caprock does not seem to change across the boundary?”
“Additionally, they all include features common in modern non-flood depositional environments.”
“If this is the k-t line then there is no problem with the depositional environment looking the same above/below the k-t line.”
“There are biological changes, and an interesting thin layer of Ir-rich clays, but no substantive change in depositional regime.”
“Pretty much all of the areas that I am familiar with where sediment deposition was continuous across the K/T boundary show absolutely no change in depositional environment across the boundary.”
“The problem or your “flood” geology is that sedimentary rocks exhibit features that are entirely consistent with features observed in modern depositional environments.”
“Indeed, it is extremely rare at best that sedimentary rocks exhibit features that cannot be exlained by processes observed in modern depositional environments.”
“If we can fully explain the features of sedimentary rocks by observed modern depositional processes, why then should we instead claim your “flood” as the only explanation?”
