... that word [erosion] explains why that particular poster cannot make the claim that all dinosuar skeletons and bones are found in 60,000,000 rock and dirt.
Maybe it wasn't explained clearly enough to you. All dinosaur fossils are found in rocks that are at least 60,000,000 years old. Sometimes erosion removes the younger rocks on top and exposes the fossils but the rocks that the fossils are in are still at least 60,000,000 years old.
​
So you can dispute the dating of the rocks if you want but you can't really use the fact that they're on the surface as an indication of young age.

You're using the word "fact" in a clumsy way. You make it sound like you're agreeing with the measured age of the rocks. I suggest that you learn some basic vocabulary if you want to talk about science.
​
But the point is that the rocks are measured to the same age, regardless of the depth that they're buried. You didn't seem to understand that concept, so I tried to clarify it for you. If you want to dispute those measurements, that's what this thread is for.
