Abstract
An attempt was made to determine the age of formation of coastal submarine placers using a diffusional-convectional generation model. Preliminary results provided an estimated age for the sedimentary strata (traditionally estimated by evolutionary geologists as generated over 40 million years) of only 2,00-5,500 years, which bears testimony to their generation in post-Flood time. This may thus provide a new method of determining the time required for the generation of geological strata. Furthermore, this model has been tested on field data in the north-east of Russia and has considerable economic benefits.
