According to the law of superposition, the statement 'it is expected to find dinosaur bones below the K-T boundary but not above'' is TRUE. This boundary separates the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods.

The law of superposition is used by paleontologists to explain a sequence of sedimentary rock layers from the oldest layer at the base to reach the surface (newer).

Moreover, the K-T boundary is a boundary that separates sediments of the Cretaceous period from the Tertiary period.

This boundary (K-T boundary) dates approximately 65 million years (Mya) ago, i.e., the period in which dinosaurs became extinct.
