If you would just research chalk formations (in all their biogeochemical
complexity - focus on fluxes of specific elements, doubling times of
relevant organisms, etc. and not the cursory stuff you previously wrote in
reply) or the Green River Fm, you would have to discard YECism without
resort to radchem techniques which I guess you distrust per se because they
yield results counter to Bronze Age thinking.

I have looked into the formation of chalk formations. It is one of
the features that helped convince Walter Veith (Professor and chair of
the Department of Zoology at the University of Western Cape and former
ardent evolutionist) that the geologic record was a catastrophic
record. He noted that after catastrophic conditions or large
environmental disturbances, algie can grow very very rapidly creating
massive algal blooms. The formation of the chalk layers in the
geologic column follow a massive world-wide catastrophic event that
provided great quantities of neutrients to the warm waters of the
shallow oceans and seas. The resulting algal blooms could easily have
produced very thick chalk layers in very short order. No need for
millions of years which are only necessary given the blinders of
outmoded uniformitarian thinking.

How thick do you think that the chalk beds of southern and eastern England and the southern North Sea basin are?

Where do you think your hypothetical algal blooms got all that Calcium Carbonate from? (When we talk of the Chalk Sea we don't mean that the sea was composed of chalk, rather than water.)

How to you explain the change in the bottom fauna over the stratigraphic column? (I'll assume that you'll explain away the change to the open water fauna as ecological zonation in the water column.)
