Is it true that petroleum forms from dinosaur remains?
No. A reference encyclopedia entry states petroleum is a fossil fuel derived from fossilized organic materials such as zooplankton and algae, not from dinosaur remains. Another reference notes petroleum formed from natural oils collecting in rock structures.
