Iam: Dinosaurs, mammals, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, beasts of the field, etc., were all created "In the beginning God..." So, all life-form kinds existed on Day 7.

All the evidence strongly contradict this; all the evidence strongly demonstrates that various types of animals were separated by millions of years.  And no, YECS still don't have a viable explanation for why the fossil record is organized the way we find it.  Until such a time as said explanation is discovered and the evidence to support it found, your creation story remains just that: a non-scientific, theological story.

Iama:

"Biblically, the time line is as follows:"

Sorry, I follow a real-world timeline.

Fascinating, our creationist friends have no explaination for epoch specific fossil beds other than "post flood".

Our creationist friends have no explanation for how babies are born. They think the stork brings them.

Maybe it has something to do with, um, that naked chick and the, um, talking, uh, ... "snake".

There's a Christian here on Beliefnet who thinks the naked chick had sex with the snake. She reads a lot of extra sex into the Bible.

iama:  Yes, you are correct IF, IF, IF the sedimentary layers which exist WORLDWIDE each represent long ages of time as the evolution speculation re: geologists holding to those evolution speculations, are CORRECT!  But, according to The Bible, they are INCORRECT!

The "fountains of the great deep" opened up beneath the oceans as well as on the land surfaces.  You are aware that 90+% of all animal fossils found are marine life-forms.  Marine life-forms which were not capable of swimming away through the bombarding sediments of these "fountains of the great deep" opening up, were the first to perish. 

Land life-forms would have been later.  Those life-forms which could move away from the rising waters / swim / climb, make rafts, climb aboard floating debris, etc., were the last to perish.  Many of these last ones to perish / floated / decomposed and were not placed where / how they needed to be in order to be fossilized.  Why are there so many teeth found?  Why are there so many isolated bones found?

The parameters which existed at the time of The Flood included?

1. Rain

2. "fountains of the great deep" opening up

3. vulcanism

4. ocean currents

5. volcanic activity

6. ash, rocks, lava

7. tsunamis

8. tides

9. wind

10. ocean currents

11. earthquakes

12. mountains rising

13. volcanic mountain building

14. sea mount building

15. tectonic movements of the Earth's crust

16. destruction of the Earth's topography

17. deposition of great quantities of sediments

18. chemicals in solution cementing sediments

19. caves forming

20. receding waters carving out valleys, canyons, river valleys, etc.

21. ideal conditions for fossil formation
