Geologists have established that the Hell Creek Formation, where B. rex was found, is 68 million years old, and so are the bones buried in it.Why should a creek be considered as old as the bones buried in it, or vice versa? Are you as old as the dirt you walk on?

Why should a creek be considered as old as the bones buried in it, or vice versa? Is this serious? A thing dies in the mud. As it happens, more mud covers it, and more sediment layers cover those. The thing gets fossilized as the mud layers turn to shale rock.
The age of the shale is the age since it was mud. How is the age of the fossil any different?

If we find Jimmy Hoffa's bones embedded in the middle of a piece of concrete poured on April 23, 1975, when was Jimmy Hoffa deposited there?
