The statement that correctly describes the law of superposition is:
Fossils in bottom layers are older than fossils in top layers.
This principle is used in geology to determine the relative ages of sedimentary rock layers and the fossils contained within them, with the understanding that in undisturbed layers, newer layers are deposited on top of older layers.
