Sorry, Ray, but water currents refer to local stream channels, which

What do you mean by "likely"?
Are ocean currents likely the results of "local floods"?

"The paleontology and sedimentary record of the Trenton limestone
suggests a variety of environments under which these carbonates were
deposited. These limestones preserve many sedimentary structures and
distinctive fossil orientation features that help to decipher
paleocurrent directions. In addition to direct current lineations via
grove and gutter casts, tool marks, and aligned fossil specimens,
there are other sedimentary features that help to decipher the
paleoceanographic circulation patterns of the Trenton shelf. These
sedimentary features include: inclined cross-bedding, current and
oscillatory ripples, as well as larger-scale features such as channel
structures and slump deposits. Collectively, these distinctive
features help to decipher paleocurrent flow regimes under which the
rocks were deposited."

If I'm reading this only half right, you and Richard are full of it.

So Glenn: Do you understand that the Trenton limestone is *not* part
of the Morrison Formation? Evidently not.
You do like to make creationists look silly, don't you!
Keep it up!
