We find coral around St. Louis routinely. The middle of the US used to be a shallow sea. I love giving chunks to my cousins and explaining where it comes from.
It's likely a majority of what's above sea level now was underwater - at some time in Earth's history. We have evidence of many types of mollusks, including bivalves, cephalopods, and gastropods from the Cambrian (half a billion years ago, give or take a few dozen million).
Most of the mountain ranges on Earth are younger than that, much younger. The dry surface of Earth has changed substantially in that time, no goddamned global flood needed.
