I don't propose that they were hiding anywere. When waves came, they were
swimming in the water. When the waters drained away, they found their
footing on the new layers and made tracks.

Admitedly, my comment is based on the assumption that larger animals
would have more reserves than smaller animals, especially when pumped
full of adrenalin. What experiments can you cite that large animals do
not have such reserves?

Actually, the top layer is dated to 1964, the second layer is estimated
at about 500 years and the third at 800 years (several other layers were
discovered below, but were not studied). But, the ages are totally
irrelevant. The point was (from both quotes) that there is so far no
consensus on what tsunami deposits should look like.
Not that long ago, (1920s??) the structure of turbidites were first
studied. These structures were then found to make up a good sized portion
of the geologic record. Many interpretations of strata deposition had to
be rewritten. It has only been since the proposals of a K-T extinction
caused by bolide impact, that some propose that mega-tsunami depositions
may be found in the geologic record. Studies like the one done on
vancouver island are steps in trying to acertain what tsunami deposits
should look like, so that it may be possible to identify tsunmi deposition
in the geologic record. As the first quote stated, so far there is no
consensus, but I expect that there will be over time. And I expect that
the number of sediment layers that will need to be reinterpreted will
rival that of turbidites.

The men I was refering to were Howe, et.al. and not to Burdick.

I understand that Howe is a botanist who has published several articles in
peer reviewed journals on assorted topics dealing with palyonology. He
knows how to follow lab instructions and set up conditions to avoid
contamination. his expertice may not be geology per se, but to say he does
not know pollen and such is a bit of an overstatment.
Anyone can give advice on the cure of cancer. If you were to perscribe
medicines with out a liscence then that could be trouble.
Lets see if the lack of expertise showed up.

Despite Chadwicks rather pontifical statement that pollen is NEVER
silicified, it seems to me that it is entirely possible. And silicates
can be clear or colored. Until the issue of silification is settled,
color and deformation are side issues.
