The impact scenario does not help avoid the problem of settling times. If
a given layer is produced by one impact, it has to be entirely deposited
before the next impact deposts stuff on top of it and also must somehow
avoid being stirred up by the next impact. I also doubt that an amphibian
blasted out of place by an impact into salt water will be in any condition
to make footprints.
