Otherwise, natural leakage would have reduced their pressure to a level far below what it is today. In some places many layers are bent smoothly without any cracks. This confirms that these layers were still soft when bent. Dead bodies need rapid burial to form fossils, otherwise they rot or get eaten. Furthermore, sedimentary rocks are cemented together by some cementing agent.
Calcium carbonate is a common agent, the same one used in commercial cement.
Thus, fossil bearing rock formations must have been formed quite rapidly. Many layers extend thousands of miles, some even covering most of North America.
