    Austin has a picture of a 15-foot diameter, 200-ton boulder from the
    Shinumo Quartzite in the base of the Tapeats Sandstone, in his Grand
    Canyon book (p 46). "Arthur Chadwick surveyed hills of bedrock covered
    with boulder and sand beds. These were interpreted by Chadwick as
    catastrophic underwater debris flows, which were able to move boulders
    ten feet in diameter more than a quarter mile." (p 47)

    The interesting thing about all these is their rarity in the geologic

    believe in a global flood must deal with this issue. On the whole,
    however, I don't think they even know it exists.
