I live in New Mexico. I went on a field trip where we found some paleozoic crinoid stems. This was in sanstone. sandstone. Some other members told me the rock was Quaternary, and the crinoids redeposited. Of course, other junk was in the sandstone. Also, I found a road cut with brachiopod casts in the asphalt. The rock nearby was rich in brachiopod shells. When the hot asphalt was laid down, it obviously was imprinted on the it obviously imprinted brachiopod shells. This was near Albany, NY. More proof that the earth is only 30 years old!
