Never mind the statements about coal seams - how did they form? If you go into any old forest and stick your finger into the ground, you will come across just ordinary soil! So Velicoskvies theory of massive tidal waves sweeping huge masses of timber into a valley, or plain, makes sense. Millions of tonnes of timber into say 100 metre piles, eventually gets crushed down into a coal seam a few metres thick.Seems to make sense to me. Yet nobody gives him any credance for this theory - he is a nut case, isnt he? Not a proper professor. Laughed at by the American universities.
OK you clever cloggs out there:
QUESTION: How did coal form? Cataclysmic events, or just the World spinning round for eons just the same?? Oh of course, like oil, it all disappeared into tectonic plates and re-appeared later as coal or ?? oil?
