They were not stated to be sedimentary rocks. More typically, would be igneous, such as granite.

Suddenly, one night, unexpectedly, a massive mudslide engulfs the village, and it is buried beneath thousands of tons of mud and rock. Four thousand years later, due to local shifting of the land, the village is exposed, and archaeologists investigate. They attempt to determine the age of the village. They use radiometric dating of the rocks surrounding the village, and come up with a figure in the billions of years. They conclude that the village MUST be the same age, BECAUSE it was encased in the rock and earth. Were they correct?

If you weren't asking about the dating of sedimentary rocks, why do you think the geologists would conclude that the obviously moved rocks surrounding the village dated the village?

You look for evidence of this happening - and WHAT DO YOU KNOW - you almost always find it, and you never find anything that invalidates this prediction.

A shining example of success for the long-age evolutionary model and a stunning set back for the short-age creationists who have no explanation for either phenomona - old-over-fossil-over-young or young-over-fossil-over-old.

Plate tectonics is one self-evident mechanism for such an occurrence, although not the only mechanism

Antarctic search for meteorites. Ralph Harvey, Case Western Reserve University. Since 1976, ANSMET (the Antarctic Search for Meteorites program) has recovered more than 9,000 meteorite specimens from locations along the Transantarctic Mountains. Antarctica is the world's premier meteorite hunting ground for two reasons.

Although meteorites fall in a random fashion all over the globe, the likelihood of finding a meteorite is enhanced if the background material is plain and the accumulation rate of terrestrial sediment is low, making the east antarctic ice sheet the perfect medium.
Along the margins of this ice sheet, ice flow is sometimes blocked by mountains, nunataks, and other obstructions, exposing slow-moving or stagnant ice to the fierce katabatic winds. These winds, in turn, ablate away the ice, leaving behind a lag deposit of meteorites representing those that were sprinkled throughout the volume of ice lost to the wind. When such a process continues for a long enough time (10s or 100s of thousands of years), the concentration of meteorites can be spectacular.

I would ask Bravus as moderator to keep this discussion on a positive note.
