RW, has anyone yet offered a plausible explanation for the flash freezing which appears to have taken place with many preserved prehistoric animals?

I tend to think it was not flash freezing.
Buttercups in the bellies of mammoths is one thing, but tissue tends to hold up well if the air is cool to begin with. The animals here in the gold fields have been ground up, which means something moved but it need not have been sudden. The musk oxen found standing by the river frozen upright are a mystery of sorts, but they are out in the weather and a wind and minus 60 is not unheard of. They might also have been caught in a heavy dust storm in that weather like Pompeii. It is a little mysterious, but a cataclysm would not have been necessary to produce the results.
