A paraconformity (sometimes called a unconformity) is [1] Young earth creationists see paraconformaties as a serious challenge to the old earth uniformatarian geology paradigm. [2][3][4]
William R.Corliss, a cataloger and writer on scientific anomalies, wrote regarding paraconformaties the following:
"Potentially more important to geological thinking are those unconformities that signal large chunks of geological history are missing, even though the strata on either side of the unconformity are perfectly parallel and show no evidence of erosion. Did millions of years fly by with no discernible effect? A possible though controversial inference is that our geological clocks and stratigraphic concepts need working on." William R. Corliss, Unknown Earth (Glen Arm, Maryland: The Sourcebook Project, 1980), p. 219. [5]
