Ok.......
The show of older rocks being simpler than younger rocks could mean that the rocks had a genetic change. The genetic change could be different things, the rocks sediment could have more sand and less clay or the rocks could have more atoms packed tighter together. That type of change of something is called
Genetic Drift
