Well when we see all the same processes with fossils and archaeology worldwide, please do tell how you ‘know’ other event sites [Grand Canyon for instance] to be long ages v localized and more recent catastrophes? Actually no need to answer b/c there is no good explanation. Some of the rocks at Mt.Saint Helens had there atomic clocks reset and some did not where radio-isotope dating showed millions of years - again simply another argument where you have no logical nor reasonable explanations.
Sampling protocols have to show an awareness of error introduced by including clastic rocks which include older and newer rock within the sample. When “newly formed from magma” rock pushes up and even explodes, you will typically get older rock as well. Pieces of the existing mountain as well as the plug mixed with the explosive eruption.

The geologic column is only complete at one spot in Australia. Elsewhere it has been “interrupted” by tectonic processes. You can take a trip to the Grand Canyon to see this. You will see a good number of sedimentary layers laid down over time with young rock overlying older rock. The there are unconformities related to the big tectonic uplift and faulting both normal old thrust faults which can mix up the stratification. Also, you will find folding and the introduction of metamorphic rock at the depths where sedimentary rock has been changed by great heat and pressure deeper in the crust.
