Seen in this photo taken at the Petrified National Forest Park are evidences for catastrophic deposition and not just a post forested area with meandering streams as presented in the museum. The lava flow (black layer on top) of the colored layers is calculated to be 4-8 myo while the colored layers just below are considered to be 180 myo.(Please note there are many problems with dating strata.) But
why is there such an "unconformity" or gap in-between the calculated ages of the strata? These layers of the painted desert cover 4 states and similar layers are found on other continents. As noted in the name of the park there are tumbled logs: striped of bark, branches, and roots but often aligned in what may have been the flow of current. The colored strata are clayey ashen layers with frequent gypsum deposits that are consistent with massive volcanic ash and mud flows. As well there are mixtures of life forms with up to 100 different species of flora, and at least 8 different large tree forms (mega-fossils). There are various fish, dinosaur, and reptile forms found buried in it as well. But often found only in fragmented condition.Contrary to the Park presentation these observations could be put within a catastrophic regional or even worldwide event-such as the Noah Flood Account. See section in Creation/Evolution tab and then the sub-tab Geological Evidences on this website.The problems with radiometric dating of earth materials is discussed. As well, Dr A. Snelling's two volume text Earth's Catastrophic Past has much more similar information. Photo by JGL.
