I'm saying that essentially all of the fossilized remains are from the deaths that occurred during the first day or two of the eruption of hot water from below. Two questions:
1) How do you explain the fact that our fossil record is pretty "neat?" i.e, there are no rabbits mixed in with Stegasori.
2) When was this flood supposed to have occurred?

Forget that stuff about salt! Obviously, salt dissolves in water and there's no way to bury soluble evaporates.

Wait a minute...
How about when the cement recedes between the mountaintops and leaves the pillars of salt behind?
The pillars of salt are the result of leftists who were drowned. Their bodies would turn to salt after their deaths rather than to stone.
Yeah. I like it.

I'm saying that essentially all of the fossilized remains are from the deaths that occurred during the first day or two of the eruption of hot water from below. The carbonates dissolved by that initial surge are responsible for most of the cementation that has been observed. Kewl! And very testable. Have you, or do you know, or even know of anyone who has ever made a 'fossil' by this method?
Easy enough to set up, all one would need is some boiling hot mineral water and a frog...
For that matter, areas around geysers should be rich in 'modern fossils' Have you ever seen any???

I've seen dead deer in some of the toxic gas and boiling mudpits in Yellowstone. Does that count?
To: VadeRetro
There may be small bits of fossilization here and there from later events, but not much.

Please tell me you're not serious.
You do realize how many holes there are in your hypothesis, I hope.

Deer? I don't think so. Møøse, maybe. A rocky squirrel certainly...

Oh, the whole flood was wet cement!? Now I got it!

Then we don't have the fossil record your theory predicts, as I point out in the post you only sort of answer.

"Hey it's not a beaver, but it's another one of them pesky transitionals that means there are 2 more transitionals to find." I think you must mean 2 million more, as diffuse as this creature's characteristics are. Denial?

e-s is referring to the flood of carbonates that were dissolved in the super hot 'fountains of the great deep.'

"Too bad the headline wasn't "Beaver millions of years older than previously believed"."
I think "Jurassic Beaver" has great possibilities as a movie title...

The only part of the fossil record that is 'neat' is the aquatic portion.

Yeh, deer - well I suppose a small elk could be - certainly not a moose. Those guys slide in, can't get out and a combination of the gases and temperature kills them. Even the scavengers stay away.
To: editor-surveyor
I have been studying your posts and concluded from the evidence that you are an atheist.

*sigh* you missed the Bullwinkle reference...

"Have you, or do you know, or even know of anyone who has ever made a 'fossil' by this method?" Surely you are at least somewhat aware of the exhibit known as the 'limestone cowboy?'
"Easy enough to set up, all one would need is some boiling hot mineral water and a frog..."
Very little animate life exists around most hot springs, due to the sulfur. Geysers tend to be almost sterile.
