It’s nothing but various layers of volcanic dust;

Yeah, just volcanic dust. That 680 million cubic yards of dirt and mud just vaporized without a trace. And liquifaction and sedimentary layering only works in the laboratory. Heavier materials don't ever sort in the wild. (sigh)

—I’m pretty sure that was meant as sarcasm, but I have no idea why the sarcasm since no one ever claimed such silly things.
But anyway, the only layers I’m aware of that were created at Mt St Helens are ones such as these:

Which, as I said (and contrary to the claims of the site) any first year geology student would easily discern were from a single eruption and created in a short period of time. They’re created by volcanic ash, and other examples of this were well known before Mt St Helens, such as Cathedral Rock in Oregon.
If you were referring to something different, I’d be glad to take a look.
