The geologic column is divided into only 2 periods.
The formations of Period 1 contain no pollen.
The formations of Period 2 contain pollen.
Period 2 overlies Period 1
I can go anywhere in the world and by following the contact of Periods 1&2 or taking samples of a formation and analyzing for pollen determine with confidence if it is in Period 1 or Period 2.
That directly answers your question.
Why is this geology for five year olds important? Well it dissproves inane statements like this:
"The entire geologic column was formed by the flood. THAT's the beginning and end of the flood. I don't know where people get the idea they have to get out their microscopes and peer into one particular half inch of one layer to find it. The evidence of the flood is EVERYWHERE. I see it wherever I go.

Pollen is ubiquitous, it gets into everything. It is also very very durable. Since there were plants at the time of the made up flood there should be pollen in all the formations of the geologic column if "The entire geologic column was formed by the flood".
Since Period 1 contains no pollen it could not possibly have been formed by the flood.
