The geologic column is a fraud. http://www.trueorigin.org/geocolumn.asp
This link tells why in great detail.
That's a page that I'm betting virtually everyone here has already read. It doesn't even begin to tell you the whole truth.
The geologic column is incomplete in most places because the earth has experienced catastrophic events and lengthy periods of erosion in almost every location. This in no way refutes the fact that human fossils are found in young rocks, dinosaurs in older rocks, fish in still older rocks, then only small invertebrates, then bacteria.
The most ironic thing about the article is that most of the so-called problems are evidences of an old earth. The complexity, broken nature, and actual contents of the column in many places are best explained by such things as long periods of deposition, long periods of evaporation, long periods of erosion, and gradual movement of masses of land over long periods of time. The Dakota example cited in your link is a great example. Read about it here:

You may be put off by an apparent bias in the introduction, but I assure you that this is only a bias in favor of the evidence, and the information in the article is all factual. If you want to be viewed as an informed and objective participant in debate, you would do well to understand how these facts affect our understanding of the geologic column and the earth's age.
