Little of the soil of planet Earth is older than the Pleistocene and none is older than the Cenozoic, although fossilized soils are preserved from as far back as the Archean.

It did, just no soil that exists today is older that the Cenozoic period. The same Wiki says there are fossilized soil samples from as far back as the Archean period.
