How the Joggins Polystrate Fossils Falsify Long Ages

Polystrate fossils—fossils that cut through multiple rock layers—challenge long-held geological assumptions about slow, gradual deposition. These fossils force secular geologists to acknowledge that many layers must have formed rapidly, yet mainstream science avoids naming them, dismissing “polystrate fossils” as a creationist term. Why is there no alternative secular term? Could these fossils be evidence for a global catastrophe rather than countless local floods?

The case of Joggins, Nova Scotia, provides striking examples: upright fossilized trees, missing soil layers, and even inverted stumps—all difficult to reconcile with deep-time explanations. Instead of admitting to a single cataclysmic event, long-age geologists invoke multiple smaller catastrophes, contradicting their own gradualist framework. Paul Price explores how these fossils expose inconsistencies in secular interpretations and bolster the case for a worldwide flood.
