Dinosaurs? No.
The idea that oil was created from dinosaurs is a myth, according to
Dr. Colin Barker, McMan professor and chairman of the geosciences
department at the University of Tulsa. He said even though dinosaurs
were huge creatures, No Dinos Graphicthere simply weren=92t enough of
them to create such large amounts of oil. So if the quantity of
dinosaurs wasn=92t sufficient to make oil, how did tiny sea animals and
plants become oil?
Barker compared today=92s elephants to yesterday=92s dinosaurs. He said
the total mass of elephants on the earth is probably less than the
total mass of ants because ants outnumber elephants by such a large
margin.
When tiny organisms die, they sink to the bottom of the sea and are
mixed with mud and silt. Over time, hundreds of feet of mud containing
the organisms accumulate. Bacteria removes most of the oxygen,
nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur, leaving mainly hydrogen and carbon.
Lack of oxygen keeps the animals and plants from decaying completely.
The partially decomposed organisms create a slimy mass, which is then
covered with layers of sediments. Many sediments are tiny particles
that come from the breakdown of larger rocks, usually by weathering.
Over millions of years, many layers of sediment pile on top of the
once-living organisms. The weight of the sediment compresses the mud
into a fraction of its original thickness.
