Masterstudent aardwetenschappen Willem Jan Blom houdt op zijn website een overzicht bij van ‘creationistisch geologisch onderzoek’ in naturalistisch-wetenschappelijke tijdschriften. Hoewel dit overzicht van Blom verre van compleet is, is het goed om een dergelijk overzicht bij te houden.1 Vandaag plaatsten we een presentatie van dr. John Whitmore over de Coconino Sandstone.2 Dit is een onderzoek dat met tussenpozen al sinds de jaren ’80 van de vorige eeuw bezig is. Ook Willem Jan Blom noemt in zijn overzicht dit onderzoek. Hieronder, net als het ‘Dinosaur Research Project’ van dr. Arthur Chadwick3, een overzicht van papers, abstracts op naturalistische conferenties en theses waartoe dit Coconino-onderzoek geleid heeft.
