    No energy products come from dinosaurs. Coal is from trees and oil is from plankton. Natural gas is a byproduct of oil.

      No, can’t be true. In Mrs. Doubtfire, it’s explicitly said that crude oil is from the remainders of dinosaurs.

        Mostly they disintegrate. Some become fossils depending on how they died and the conditions surrounding their body.

        No, they just haven’t been clarifying.

        It was an early misunderstanding of tar pit and peat bog excavations as I understand it.

        Schools should teach about the bone wars and how they set back set back research by hundreds of years and created dinosaur myths that persist to this day.

            Sounds like a full-length porno film to me.

        I think it’s just that there’s many orders of magnitude more plankton than anything else, so the dinos might still have ended up as oil, just a negligible fraction (though this is a complete guess by me)

      Oil is from plankton? Well, I learnt something today.

      [edit] Is it because of the term fossil fuels and people go “wait, I’ve seen some fossils, OF DINOSAURS”

      Also birds are not the descendants of terrestrial dinosaurs. They are dinosaurs, but their ancestors were also birds.

          Just look at them, they are clearly extraterrestrial!

        They are.

        The common ancestor of all dinosaurs was certainly terrestrial, so logically that means birds are the descendants of terrestrial dinosaurs. That was in the Trias. By the Jurassic, small tree-climbing theropods with feathers were gliding and soon starting to fly.

    Also there are ultra-popular movies about you.

    However they keep messing up how you look on purpose, because since they’ve learned more about you, they think all the made-up bullshit was cooler than the real you.

    I don’t think bones alone count as a corpse, so the fossilized remains of bones definitely don’t.
