The problem with this is that of there were previous periods of erosion they would be hard to account for.

Was going to reply but...not sure what your post means. Explain.
Regdabmaof
I can explain. I'm not arguing young earth here. The problem with assuming this formation represents 350 million years is that we can't see

Ah, I see what you mean. If only we had a time machine, just think of the geology you could do.

Completely undisturbed for that entire period.

Layers that were stripped away over the millennia due to erosion. The law of superimposition only applies if we know the formation

So your saying with 0% of the evidence, we can pass it as true?

0% of the FOSSIL evidence. Good grief, read a science book sometime.
