There is strong evidence for rapid successive sedimentary layer deposition from analysis of polonium radiohalos found in coal samples from Triassic, Jurassic, and Eocene deposits allegedly laid down between 230-60 Mys ago.1 The polonium 210 (half-life = 138.4 days) halos found in coal from the three "periods" have many similar characteristics which strongly suggest one rapid deposition event. Many of these polonium 210 halos are actually double halos sharing the same radiocenter but where one halo is oval shaped while the other is circular. The best explanation for the double halos follows. Vast forests and were buried under water. While the wood was waterlogged and still in a gel like state, water-containing uranium penetrated the wood.
