Well, that's explains everything.

Look at my edit above.
Are you suggesting the herd of thousands galloped thousands of miles only to be flash frozen even before they could digest their last meal?
Or are you suggesting woolly mammoths were so fast they could run to the tropics for lunch and be back in Siberia before they could digest lunch?

I looked at it, it doesn't explain anything.

No, I asked if that was what you were suggesting.

By your logic I could take a 5 gallon bucket of freshwater and toss it in the ocean and it would just float on top and remain freshwater .
With consistent rain water for 40 days and 40 nights it could have made a similar effect to a freshwater river entering the ocean.

You don't have a clue.
Phantom you asked where a saltwater fish would have went during the flood lol.
God told the patriarch to coat the ark, both inside and out, all 229,500 square feet of it, with pitch, and, in fact, this was a common practice in ancient times. But when Noah hurried to the corner hardware store, the shelf was bare, for pitch is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon similar to petroleum (Rosenfeld, p. 126), and we know that oil, tar, and coal deposits were formed when organic matter was buried and subjected to extreme pressure during the flood
There's more forms of pitch than just petroleum-based. There's also resin-based pitch which is plant derived.
11.3-4 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
The Babylonian soil is still celebrated for these architectural materials. There is here a fine clay, mingled with sand, forming the very best material for brick, while stones are not to be found at a convenient distance. Asphalt is found boiling up from the soil in the neighborhood of Babylon and of the Dead Sea, which is hence called the “lacus Asphaltites.”
The asphalt springs of…Hit [ Hīt is in Iraq (هيت). / ancient name: Is ] on the Euphrates are celebrated by many writers.

So now it's rain water and not water that crept up through cracks in the ocean floor? Your all over the place with your "facts"

Would you care to show how plant based rosin is used on ships?
To add, I also think the Americans have this thing called the Le Brea Tar pits in California which has Dino's and such stuck in it? Did the flood wash all the dinos into it after the flood? /sarc

If you say so "magic boats".
Archaeological remains: Residues of pine pitch have been found on wooden planks and other boat parts from ancient shipwrecks dating back thousands of years. This includes Viking ships, Egyptian barges, and even remnants of the Mary Rose, King Henry VIII's flagship.

I see all the ships builders you listed were more recent?
Also this was a well known site for thousands of years, before Noah and the flood but had petroleom based pitch

Logistically plausible boats*
As opposed to magic seafloors that rise up to become mountains
