Ultimately we creationists have to decide that that’s the order of burial during the flood, and try to resolve that through a narrative.

I made a rather extensive OP in regards to flood interpretations of fossil stratification here…

Stratification of the Fossil Record and the YEC Flood

The fossil record is stratified, that does not seem to be disputed by YEC. The identifiable geological eras from the Cambrian forward are identifiable by geological characteristics but also by their fossil inclusions. The fossil record displays a general progression from more primitive organisms, extinction boundaries, and sorting of creatures into their associated epochs. This is precisely what would be expected given life evolving over a span of hundreds of millions of years. Given that YEC holds that all the animals that ever breathed coexisted together before the deluge, this presents a challenge - if they lived together why did they not die together? The entire geologic column constituting most of the fossil bearing sedimentary rock found on the planet, would have been laid down roughly over the course of a year. Flood proponents advance three scenarios, not necessarily mutually exclusive, to explain the segregation of the fossil record. The first runs something along the l…

In that thread, I did not receive any counters or challenges from Peaceful Science YEC proponents, perhaps you would have a look.
