Au contraire.
What's the creationist explanation for the biological assemblage zones in the Beaufort Group of the Karoo Sequence?
You can find out more about them starting at
Karoo Supergroup - Wikipedia
It goes like this from bottom (1) to top (7):
1. Dinocephalian.
2. Pristerognathus-Diictodon
3. Tropidostoma-Endothiodon
4. Aulacephalodon-Cistecepthalus
5. Dicynodon Lacerticeps- Whaitsia
6. Lystrosaurus-Thrinaxodon
7. Kannemeyeria-Diademodon
It goes from the Permian Adelaide subgroup (bottom) to the Triassic Tarkastad subgroup (top).

In it there's also a whole list of peer-reviewd geological and palaeontoloical articles on the subject (at least 78 direct references). I can also send you more than 30 more recent references on the subject. Your pick.
