A recent study published in Geology found that sedimentary rock can form in as little as 35 years.^1,2 Before this, conventional geologists thought these types of rocks took vast amounts of time to erode, consolidate, and lithify. What they discovered along the coast of Scotland caused them to quickly change their minds.

Hot Springs National Park is located about an hour southwest of Little Rock in the folded Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas. It is the second smallest national park in the United States at just under nine square miles.

The Great Unconformity is one of the most baffling mysteries in the geological sciences.¹ It is marked by a massive surface of erosion that appears all over the world at about the same time. Many studies have tried and failed to satisfactorily explain its global occurrence.
