Global Deposits Of In Situ Upper Cambrian Microbialites: Implications For A Cohesive Model Of Origins, Ken P. Coulson
Global Deposits Of In Situ Upper Cambrian Microbialites: Implications For A Cohesive Model Of Origins, Ken P. Coulson
Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism
The existence of in situ microbialites of biological origin located in upper Cambrian rocks in western Utah presents some problems for creationists as they seek to define the boundary that separates pre-Flood deposits from those that were deposited during the Flood event itself. These microbialites are extensive in nature, covering an area of at least 2600 km2, and are stacked one atop the other in multiple beds that span a thickness of at least 300 m, but could be as thick as several km (intercalated between wackestone wedges). Other microbialites found throughout similar upper Cambrian rocks in Nevada and California …
