We know about dinosaurs because we have found their bones which have become fossilized. Fossil fuels are made from old vegetation and dead animals which have been compressed for 300 thousand years. The use of the word fossil means something that is very old. That is the connection between fossilized dinosaurs and fossil fuels.
A:
There is a popular notion that fossil fuel is made from the remains of dead dinosaurs. This is not correct.
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) developed from organic (living) material subjected to intense heat and pressure over millions of years.
- Oil and gas came from plankton and other tiny organisms.
- Coal came from larger plants and animals.
Coal developed around 300 million years ago. The first dinosaurs evolved from earlier reptiles (archosaurs) about 230 million years ago. So there may be some early reptiles in coal, but not really any dinosaurs.
