Let me see, you said: "Take sand box sand and mix in a dash of dirt, ..."
Did you measure the particle size of your "dash of dirt" which would keep
the water "muddy for many hours?" All I know is when I walk through the
wet dirt in my back yard I get taller.

You are one of the most cynical people I've ever met. Did you know that I'm
not really here? I'm just a computer drone from the 23rd century. ?

That is what I wanted to know.

I have the same faith in Lalimov (and Baumgardner) as I do in any other
person who has published in peer reviewed journals. If you believe that
Lalimov had deliberatly mistranslated or even manufactured his quotes, the
prove it.

Experience shows that what may be the best work of today will likely be
improved upon and corrected tomorrow. No one must accept whatever happens
to be promoted today as the last word on the subject.

One need only look at the tet-a-tet over the effect the Chixulub impact
explosion. Some claim it killed off the dinos, other claim it did'nt do
much of anything and that the supposed evidence has other better
explanations. The first claims are usually the least accurate. As time
goes by, and the facts become better known, more accurate data is developed.
I am of the opinion that Asteroid impact data has been generous on the side
of the worse-case scenario

If you are talking about microfossils in the ocean floors, then I'd say that
impact-tsunami had little to no effect of them. Impact-tsunami would only
have effects on continents or shallow waters. Ocean sediments are most
likely post flood deposits.

The average size of known asteroid impact craters is 40 to 50 km across.
Chicxulub is a rare event.
There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 known impact craters of all
sizes in the geologic record. This represents, by and large, only those
which have impacted on continents. The number of impacts in the oceans is
unknown and perhaps unknowable give the possibility of CPT with the previous
ocean floors gone and all new ocean floors existing now. Since oceans cover
2/3rds of the globe then one could extrapolate up to 600 impact craters,
which comes to about 4 impacts per day for 150 days. There would only be a
hand full of large impacts the size of Chicxulub. The others would have
largly local effects only. There could be several hundred more that did not
make impact craters.
If the average area destroyed by the impact explosion was 30,000 square
miles and we have 600 impacts that makes a total of 18,000,000 square miles
or approximately 9.8% of the earths surface. That leaves about 90% of the
surface available to hide in.

There has never been any hint of volcanism associated with the Chicxulub
impact in any paper about it. In fact, the most that has ever been
associated with it (far to little so far as I am concerned) are some thin
tsunami deposites and the rare isotopes in thin beds.
The explosions represent aproximately 5 percent of the kinetic energy. Most
of the energy is directed into the earth causing earthquakes of 11 R.
Blowing the atmosphere away would be like popping the cork on a bottle. The
fireball, which contains the heat of the explosion would jet into space
through the void in the atmosphere. I have been emailing various expert
theorists on asteroid explosions at Sandia and JPL and the like to see if
there has been any modeling on explosions this big. So for the largest
computer modeling has been for the Shoemake-Levy 9 atmospheric explosions on
Jupiter. There may be some larger that I've not found yet. However, the
fact that the fireballs on Jupiter jeted back out the trajectory paths into
space above the atmosphere, hints at the probability that the fireball from
asteroid explosions which blow holes in the atmosphere will jet into space
through that void and carry the majority of the heat with it.

Do you mean every single Era, every single Period, or every single Epoch?
irregardless, the geolgoic column is an invention based on evolutionism.
The geologic record is real.

1. Who's to say just exactly what elevation primates lived at prior to the
Flood with a global environment different than today?
2. Tsunami deposits sort by density. In the New Ginea tsunami deposit,
sand dollars were deposited in the top of the sand layer. not in the bottom.
the density of animals might preclude their being deposited until after many
tsunami had come ashore.
