Human Footprints in the Geological Record

The same thing also happens with plants. You will not find evidence of flowering plants or angeo sperms as they're known before the mesozoic era. It's clear that there is a sorting by layers going on here. That's not what you would expect to see in the rock layers if they were all laid down during a single year of flood, and all the creatures and plants and animals had been living together and died at once. And even if you find anomalies that could be interpreted that way, it doesn't overturn the fact that over and over again, we have fossils of different plants and animals in different layers.
