Drilling through the geologic columnby ~Agahnim

Digital Art / Vector / Conceptual

Since *EWilloughby has been submitting a few of the diagrams she created (or that she and I created together) for her and my evolution book, I figured I might as well do the same. This diagram is an illustration for the book's second chapter, which is by Glenn Morton, about the geologic column and why young-earth creationist explanations for it are inadequate.

This is a refutation to the creationist claim that the geologic column is just an idea, which doesn't exist anywhere in reality. Quoting a book by the creationist Henry Morris: "Now the geologic column is an idea, not an actual series of rock layers. Nowhere do we find the complete sequence." This diagram shows the various layers of the geologic column as they were encountered by digging the W. H. Hunt Trust Estate oil well in North Dakota. The source for the data is the Stratigraphic Database of Major Sedimentary Basins of the World, published in 1989 by The Robertson Group.

That is a really helpful diagram.

I really look forward to this book you're writing.

Shouldn't it be Paleo/Neogene instead of Tertiary?

~Agahnim Jul 12, 2012

The source for this part of Glenn Morton's chapter is from 1989, so it doesn't divide the Tertiary into two periods. I'm trying to stay as true to the sources as possible, so I shouldn't insert a boundary between the Paleogene and the Neogene at an arbitrary depth that isn't based on anything in the source material. The chapter makes the point elsewhere that the Tertiary is often split into these two periods, though.

I love this! Thank you so much for posting the ND sequence I had heard about, but hadn't seen illustrated before.
