Bob The long term deposits theory has a big problem accumulating a mass of material to produce the deposit. I have done a bit of diving and organic material doesn't stay on the bottom long enough to accumulate. It is all eaten and recycled. The bottom of the ocean is normally clean as a whistle and totally devoid of any organic material. How do you propose it accumulates in the traditional view? Kamron
