Fossils all over the world show evidence of rapid burial.

I'm sorry, but my response to this is, "Duh!" If an animal dies and is not rapidly buried, it rots and scavengers spread the carcass around. The only way that an animal can be fossilized is to be rapidly buried! This is why our richest fossil field are from shallow seas, swamps, and rivers. This in itself does not provide evidence for either YEC or evolution. However, YEC demands that all strata be laid down during the Flood 4000 years ago. Many features of geologic strata are inconsistent with deposition under water. Additionally, radiometric dating methods reliably date strata to much older ages than allowed by YEC.

Here is an article discussing "polystrate" fossils and whether they truly present a problem for an ancient earth.

I don't know why you are presenting the same bad information about the fossil record once again as I replied to it the last time. I'm afraid you're not going to convince me by once again repeating the same thing.

Regarding the last part of your post, in order for us to respond to it you need to provide the documentation of these finds including photographs and dating methods. Without documentation those are worthless.
