I think I sometimes walk like that when I first get out of bed in the morning.
On a serious note: I would encourage every FReeper to consider a trip to see the Grand Canyon, and do it while you are still young and fit enough to do some walking around.
They cover that precise topic in this excellent documentary.
How The Earth Was Made: Grand Canyon:

I was a geology major back in the mid 80s.
How do you explain discontinuities/unconformities, subaerial erosion and palaeo karst features within the Grand Canyon sequence, if it was laid down rapidly and then eroded in the way you suggest?
Leave Bobby and Cindy at home? Tie all the kids together with tethers? Give Bobby and Cindy their own GPS trackers?
There must be a solution that doesn’t involve JAIL!!!
"...310 million years old..."
or, the creature was drunk
It was laid down over a long time. It eroded quickly.
Electric Universe geology is discussed in detail offering insights into catastrophes that our ancestors experienced and is well-documented across many cultures from around the world. Plasma discharges and comet interaction created aurora like phenomenon described as seething rivers of fires causing metamorphic processes to create the necessary heat and pressure to create geologic formations that can be found in many places, especially the U.S Southwest. Flood deposit layering, dust and particle accumulation during electromagnetic events are also discussed along with lab experiments that can replicate these processes.

Robert Schoch has gone with Solar Coronal Mass Ejections as his explanation for things like the underground cities and Goblekli Tepe and such, across the Earth, but it makes me smile. :^)
310 million years?
Do they carbon date them?
299 million years for others?
Baffles me.
Lord, what a beautiful place.
“Scientists write that they tentatively assign the tracks to a basal tetrapod of unknown taxonomic affinity and the ichnogenus (category of trace fossil) Chelichnus”
Well, duh!
God says, “You’re welcome.”

Yeah, that's foolishness. As the full extent of the site becomes known, that particular odd claim will be recognized as, well, odd.

I probably should add a catastrophism ping...
