Actually I do think that this fact plus one other rules out all global flood
theories that deposit all the sedimentary column. Here is why. The preflood
landscape was supposed to be devoid of all but the shallowest of sedimentary
cover. It would look like:
preflood landscape
60 feet above sealevel******************************no sediments
*******************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------sealevel
The post flood landscape has huge holes, called basins which are filled with
up to 60,000 feet of sedimentary rock. They look like:

In order to achieve this relationship the entire v-shaped area MUST be
excavated before the very lowest layer of sediment is deposited. This
requires the following to be the temporary intermediate situation.

(there should be spaces where the empty void is, but the archive so messes
up the picutures that no one can understand them in the future.)
The fact that the sediments must be excavated in the early stage of the
flood means that all the sedimentary material must be held in suspension by
the "raging flood waters". This means that the raging flood waters would
thoroughly mix everything up. That being the case, why do the chemicals
which are only found with angiosperms appear only in the uppermost levels of
the sedimentary column?
