General Flood Topic

CoragypsCan you explain vast ages of chalk from a uniformitarianistic POV can you?I'd love to hear that.

^ It's still incredible vertical amounts of chalk over vast areas Edge, and you know it, and unless I'm mistaken, the major chalk deposits around the world occur preferentially in certain of your 'eras'.Same with coal.[This message has been edited by Tranquility Base, 11-19-2002]

^ Why predominantly in one point in time and why so abrruptly at both interfaces? Why so incredibly enriched?Our explanation?Same as yours, but the abruptness and enrichment are explained by catastrophic sorting. Fast currents can sort materials to high purity. It represented a stage in the flood and hence explains why we get this primarily at only a few points in the geo-col.

I'm actually quite interested in this issue Wehappy. I simply have nothing to contribute. It seems to me so far that there is sufficeint room to suggest that much of the calcium could have an inorganic origin. I agree that current limestone depositon is primarily biogenic but the flood was a little different than curent processes. I await further clarification (as opposed to simply your expectation vs ours) on these issues from all of you.
