No energy products come from dinosaurs. Coal is from trees and oil is from plankton. Natural gas is a byproduct of oil.
Stop destroying the dream!!
No, can't be true. In Mrs. Doubtfire, it's explicitly said that crude oil is from the remainders of dinosaurs.
Incorrect. Some energy products may come from dinosaurs.

Touché.
Wait, has school been lying ALL This time? What actually happens to bones?
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.
That sounds so bad ass. The bone wars, I would pay extra attention to that.
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)
Also birds are not the descendants of terrestrial dinosaurs. They are dinosaurs, but their ancestors were also birds.
Are you saying that theropods weren't terrestrial?
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.
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"
