This is not an area of my expertise, but Paul Buchheim has spent his life
studying this stuff. He has a number of extant systems which produce many
layers per day in natural environments. As far as the Green River Shale is
concerned, the system is much too complex to apply any particular mode of
origin to all of it. Buchheim, in any case does not think it was deposited
during the year of the flood.
