fossil-rich sediments above it are the first ecosystems deposited by the flood waters.

The animals that were buried under these conditions were running over the top of wet sediment
as they tried to escape the flood, only to be caught and deposited in higher sediments. There
wasn’t much time between these two events.

Whether or not the flood ended closer to the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary or closer to the
