Explain what a paraconformity is.
According to [[Ariel R. Roth]] a '''paraconformity''' occurs "when a part of the [[geological column]] is missing in the <nowiki>[sedimentary]</nowiki> layers." <ref>http://www.grisda.org/georpts/36.pdf</ref>
A '''paraconformity'' is a type of ''unconformity'' (gap in the [[geologic system]]) in which there is no evidence of a gap in time, because the planes above and below the gap are parallel and there is no evidence of erosion.

{{cquote|Paraconformities challenge the geologic timescale. The lack of evidence of time at the surface of the underlying layers of a paraconformity, especially the lack of erosion, suggest that the long ages never occurred.<ref>http://www.grisda.org/georpts/36.pdf</ref>}}
