Does oil really come from dinosaurs or is that just a myth?
They don’t call it “fossil fuel” for nothing. Plant and animal life from about 300 million years ago was “cooked” beneath the earth’s surface to create oil, natural gas and coal – your basic fossil fuels. While dinosaurs were part of that fossil mix, most oil comes from prehistoric marine plankton and algae. Exxon may have claimed to “put a tiger in your tank,” but it’s more likely part decomposed saber tooth tiger.
