I read about finds of centepedes, arachnids, and insect remains preserved
in exquisite detail in Devonian rock form upstate New York, "similar to
modern forms" (Science News 123:356-357, June 4, 1983) -- have these been
found to be contamination?

I wouldn't expect to find those!
The fossil record shows order.
But I did read about finds of centepedes, arachnids, and insect remains
preserved in exquisite detail in Devonian rock form upstate New York,
"similar to modern forms" (Science News 123:356-357, June 4, 1983) -- have
these been found to be contamination?
