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.

Wait, has school been lying ALL This time? What actually happens to bones?

[–] teft@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

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"
