Since ancient times, people have noticed that fossils existed of animals that did not resemble living species.
Does the order of the fossil record give evidence for catastrophism in the fossil record?
The Catastrophic model predicts that there would have been insufficient time between the deposition of the various layers of the column for them to turn to rock. Evidence for simultaneous plasticity of layers and intermingling of layers would thus be evidence for a short chronology. The evolutionary paradigm would have to invoke heat and pressure in order to explain plasticity of rock plates.
An extensive literature review on some of these issues was carried out by L.J. Gibson of the Geoscience Research Institute, and fascinating possibilities exist to account for these phenomena.
Evidence for Catastrophism is very widespread in the fossil record, and the mere fact that most fossils are embedded in deposits laid down by water indicates catastrophic formation.
