Regarding the Green River Formation in Midwestern USA,Dr Whitmore (geologist) said "In my study, I found many examples of exploded fish in the Fossil Basin. A fish cannot explode and scatter its scales if it is already buried in sediment. Burial must come after the explosion. Fish taphonomy is additional evidence that suggests the laminations of Fossil Basin cannot be annual varves. Sedimentation at these rates is much too slow to explain the exceptional fish preservation. Based on fish taphonomy, the laminations must represent shorter periods of time."

JGL Comment: Some geologists had been attempting to construct a 6.5 million year deposition for the Green River Formation based on annual varve formation, but the above observations and other data argue against that view..
See links for comments and differing opinions as to whether the formation occurred during the Flood (M Oard) or Post-Flood (J. Whitmore). But both agree the sedimentation of the GRF did not take millions of years.
