An Evolutionist Blooper Revisited

I recently had the opportunity to hear someone say more recent things are in higher layers and older things in lower layers. As to geographical elevation over the sea, we can check with Palaeocritti:

• Palaeocritti - a guide to prehistoric animals : Austria
  
  
  • Austriadactylus
    
    Austriadactylus lived during the Late Triassic Period (Norian); the only known specimen was found in an abandoned mine in Austria. It was a relatively small pterosaur with a wingspan of 1 m (3.3 ft) and a skull length of 10 cm, the skull of which possessed an unusual bony crest that widened towards the snout.
    
    ...
    
    Abandoned mine near Ankerschlag, Tyrol, NW Austria; Seefelder Schichten, late Alaunian (middle Norian).
    
    Seefeld has two main mountain areas (for walking or skiing): one is the rounded hill, the Gschwandtkopf (1,495 m); the other is on the slopes of the mountains to the east and called the Rosshütte after the large mountain restaurant halfway up. These mountains dominate the Seefeld Plateau; from left/north to right/south, they are the Seefelder Joch, Seefelder Spitze (2,215 m), Härmelekopf (2,224 m) and Reither Spitze (2,374 m).

    • Doratodon carcharidens (Crocodylomorpha)
    • Mochlodon suessi (Ornithopoda Iguanodontia Rhabdodontidae)
    
    
    
  • Linzer Sanden Formation, Upper Oligocene (Chattian)
    
    
    • Cetotheriopsis lintianus (Mammalia Cetacea Mysticeti Cetotheriopsidae)
    
    
    
  • Leitha Limestone Formation, Middle Miocene (Serravallian)
    
    
    • Cetotherium priscum (Mammalia Cetacea Mysticeti Cetotheriidae)
      
      
    • Heterodelphis leiodontus (Mammalia Cetacea Odontoceti)
    
    
    
  • Nussdorf, Late Middle Miocene (Sarmatian, Serravallian)
    
    Nussdorf
    The Nussdorfer Brewery was erected in 1819 and the Franz Joseph railway to the Kahlenberg turned Nussdorf into a popular destination for daytrips for the Viennese in the 19th century.
    
    ...
    
    The Kahlenberg
    is a hill (484 m or 1,588 ft) located in the 19th District of Vienna, Austria (Döbling).
    
    
    • Praepusa vindobonensis (Mammalia Carnivora Phocidae)
    • Cetotherium ambiguum (Mammalia Cetacea Mysticeti Cetotheriidae)
      
      
    • Kentriodon fuchsii (Mammalia Cetacea Odontoceti Kentriodontidae)
    • Pachyacanthus suessii (Mammalia Cetacea)
    • Pachyacanthus letochae (Mammalia Cetacea)
  
  
  
• Palaeocritti - a guide to prehistoric animals : Switzerland
  
  
  • Ichthyosaurus communis (Ichthyopterygia IchthyosauriaThunnosauria)
    
    (4)Canton Aargau Switzerland
    
    Highest point 908 m (2,979 ft): Geissfluegrat
    Lowest point 260 m (853 ft): Rhine at Kaiseraugst
    
    
  • Monte San Giorno, Switzerland & Italy, Middle Triassic (Anisian)
    
    
    • Cyamodus muensteri (Placodontia Cyamodontidae) Osnabrueck, Bindlach, and lo. Meissner Fm
    
    
    Probably Monte San Giorgio
    Monte San Giorgio is a wooded mountain (1,097 m above sea level) of the Lugano Prealps, overlooking Lake Lugano in Switzerland.
    
    
  • Löwenstein Formation, Switzerland, Upper Triassic (Norian)
    
    
    • Plateosaurus engelhardti (Prosauropoda Plateosauridae)
    
    
    
  • Lower Kössen Formation, Switzerland, Upper Triassic (Late Norian-Early Rhaetian)
    
    
    • Caviramus schesaplanensis (Pterosauria Campylognathoidae)
      
      
    • Raeticodactylus filisurensis (Pterosauria Campylognathoidae)
    
    
    Löwenstein and Kössen are per se outside Switzerland. The parts of the formation getting into Switzerland would be close to Tyrol and Germany.
  
  
  
• Palaeocritti - a guide to prehistoric animals : Czech Republic
  
  
  • Acanthodes
    
    Acanthodes is a genus of plankton feeding spiny sharks which was ubiquitous from the Early Carboniferous to the Early Permian.
    
    
  • Nyrany, Czech Rep., Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian D, Moscovian)
    
    
    • Diplovertebron punctatum (Embolomeri Eogyrinidae)
      
      Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian D), Nýrany, Czech Republic, - elevation 345 m (1,132 ft)
      
      
    • Phlegethontia longissima (Lepospondyli Aistopoda Phlegethontidae)
    • Scincosaurus crassus (Lepospondyli Nectridea Scincosauridae)
    • Microbrachis pelikani (Lepospondyli Microsauria Microbrachidae)
    • Crinodon limnophyes (Lepospondyli Microsauria Tuditanidae)
    • Sparodus validus (Lepospondyli Microsauria Gymnarthidae)
    • Hyloplesion longicostatum (Lepospondyli Microsauria Hyloplesionidae)
    • Gephyrostegus bohemicus (Gephyrostegida Gephyrostegidae)
    
    
    
  • Czech Rep., Upper Carboniferous (Stephanian, Gzhelian)
    
    
    • Boii crassidens (Lepospondyli Microsauria Tuditanidae)
    
    
    
  • Czech Republic, Oligocene (Rupelian)
    
    
    • Oligolactoria bubiki (Actinopterygii, Tetraodontiformes, Ostracoidea, Ostracidae)
      
      Bystrice/Olsi, Moravia
      Bystřice (help·info) (Polish: About this sound Bystrzyca, German: Bistrzitz) is a large village in Frýdek-Místek District, Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has a population of 5,173 (2006), Poles are 29.7% of the population.[1] It lies between the Silesian and Moravian-Silesian Beskids mountain ranges, in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. The Hluchová River flows to the Olza River in the village.
      
      Elevation 340 m (1,120 ft)
    
    
    
  • Czech Republic, Lower Miocene (Eggenburgian)
    
    
    • Lazarussuchus dvoraki (Choristodera)

So, Oligocene from Bistritz and Carboniferous from Nürschan are the lowest. The Pterosaurs "more recent than" the Diplovertebron punctatum and "older than" Oligolactoria bubiki are higher up in the geography than both.

You also get whales, a seal and an ichthyosaur in this region, probably because there was a pre-Flood sea here, Vienna and Nussdorf close to the shore.

Either way, the older things are also not deeper down in the ground whereever you look, rather what we find is what is close to the surface.
