The assumption of time-equivalence of index fossils is the basis of evolutionist geology. In this review of the Woodmorappe Flood Model it can be shown that there is a simpler and better explanation for the separation of fossils in a short time-frame. Rather than time itself being the determining factor in the positioning of fossils, geographical and tectonic causes provide the basis for a diluvial paradigm which is superior to the standard geologic framework.
