Impressive Flood Evidences in the Coconino Sandstone
Conventional scientists have long considered this sandstone layer to be an example of an ancient desert filled with sand dunes. The technical term is eolian, or wind-blown, sandstone. Through years of close examination, Dr. Whitmore has provided significant evidence against this view.
