Abstract
Today many geologists are more willing to consider catastrophic physical processes than in the past. However, these catastrophic events are postulated as having occurred over the millions of years necessary to validate the uniformitarian model. One such site where catastrophic physical processes have been proposed is at Goat Mountain in Big Bend National Park, Texas. This site has undergone significant volcanic deposition and erosion. All the volcanic sedimentation is viewed as having occurred rapidly and subaerially, with the intervening erosion being slow and uniformitarian. Tentatively, it appears that the evidence from the stratigraphic section exposed at Goat Mountain fails to support the present uniformitarian interpretation. Rather it appears to better fit subaqueous emplacement and subsequent massive erosion within a short timeframe. The author interprets the Goat Mountain exposure as having formed predominantly during the Flood (i.e., Middle to Upper Flood Event Timeframe).
