They absolutely do not!!!!
That is a crazy myth that exists solely in the imaginations of the committed liars.

There may exceptions. And given the folding and redeposition this article allows must have taken place, there exceptions hardly destroy the rule. There may even be an exception or two which are difficult to explain. But yes, fossils do correspond to the supposed natural history according to the old-earth hypothesis.
Dinosaurs, as a general rule, do not exist significantly above the K-T boundary, and certainly none exist below the P-K boundary. The most ancient rocks show no trace of skeletons, and somewhat less ancient rocks (150 million years!) show no trace of animals on land.
And to be clear, by “above” and “below,” I do not mean to say that no dinosaur exists at a higher elevation than larger mammals; I mean in higher and lower layers, which this theory acknowledges are pushed up and down by natural forces.
