Petrolium is made from ancient algae and plants, not dinosaurs.
Ancient algae that fed on dinosaurs

OIL DOES NOT COME FROM DINOSAURS
Except most fossil fuels come from decayed plant matter.
I think I heard that most of it is algae and plankton and stuff.
That and trees from a time when there wero no organisms yet that could decompose cellulose.
Not to be that guy, but isn’t oil actually from all the trees that lived, died and got subducted, before there were any bacteria around capable of biodegrading them? So basically as soon as those bacteria arrived, no more oil was getting produced.
Nah, oil’s algae. Trees turned to coal.
Trees turn into peat which lithifies into coal. The anoxic and acidic conditions of peat bogs can slow decomposition enough to allow peat and coal to form so not all coal is from the Carboniferous, just most of it.
Also the evolutionary lag hypothesis that attributes that extra Carboniferous coal to a lack of lignin decomposers has been thrown into doubt.
Ah cool. But it’s not dinosaurs that’s for sure.
