All of these guys are observationally wrong. I am going to suggest that the observational data gives us local columns. We need to clarify the principles behind making correlations, and to subject the principles to critical scrutiny. You will drill through rocks of every geologic period. I have no intention of disputing this.
Evolutionary theory is supposed to undergird the whole exercise.
If this post is of interest, I'll respond further - but suffice for the present to provide this cautionary comment.
