Most of the Appalachians is now located within the eastern part of the United States as runoff. Imagine how long it took for huge mountains to erode down and wash outwards into the ocean that distance.

There’s a Cypher System RPG called Old Gods of Appalachia that’s pretty neat too.

Seems like North America has always had a thing for conservatism.
To expand on this, being older than bones is why you can’t find animal fossils in the Appalachian mountains.
