Help with a creationist claim - flat gaps in geology

I think BioLogos folks sometimes take the long way around some of these geological findings:

  1. A stratigraphied analysis of fossils show that dinosaurs and large mammals died quite separately, with no co-mingling.

  2. For those YECs who think fossils represent 5000 years of life/death, it still shows large mammals (horses, elephants, giraffes, rhino’s, hippo’s etc) living and dying in the recent years with no indication of how they could have existed at all while dinosaurs existed.

  3. The same dramatic oddities are seen when comparing marine dinosaurs to marine mammals.

  4. And the same dramatic oddities are seen when comparing marsupials in Australia to the placental mammals everywhere else.

These stratigraphied sets of evidence irrefutably resist any explanation a Creationist can offer (with or without a global flood or a sequence of regional floods).
