Common Creationist Attacks on Geology
Article by Christopher Gregory Weber in the journal Creation/Evolution on the website of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE). Please scroll down to the 'Fossil Graveyards and Facies' section for information relevant to this topic. Unfortunately, part of the article has a formatting error, causing large parts of it to be entirely underlined, and the bibliography also missing; for a potentially easier-to-read version, with the bibliography, see the PDF version of the full issue in which this article appears. The relevant section starts on page 13 of the journal (page 15 of the file).
