Technically, petroleum is made mostly from algae and somewhat from marine animals that died in anoxic conditions caused by algal blooms hundreds of millions of years ago. Whether dinosaurs had existed or not, there would still be petroleum. As for coal, the plants that formed it lived long before the dinosaurs existed.
