How many dead Dinosaurs does it take to....

How many dead dinosaurs does it take to produce the amount of Oil this planet consumes?

Do you know how ridiculous the notion of Dinosaurs is?

I don't believe they ever existed.

Sure, there are tons of random bones arranged by artists to represent what they want people to believe once existed, but there's never been a full sized T-Rex or other dinosaur of that size unearthed in one pass.

Because Dinosaurs are a hoax.

Try to prove me wrong.

Keep in mind where you're getting your information from, too!

 

LOLOL.. Yeah.. dinosaurs are a hoax........

 

Glad you fully agree.

 

It takes awhile to make thousands of fossils....... Are you sober?

 

How many dead dinosaurs does it take to produce the amount of oil humans consume??

 

never heard of trees, plants, animals?

- - - Updated - - -

algae, plankton, etc etc?

 

You do know that oil isn't dinosaurs right? Its vegetation. Mostly ocean algae.

Dude, it's 2015, get with the century.

 

^^This^^

The vast majority of oil came from plants, not dinosaurs. Are you now going to try to deny that plants exist, OP? Not that I would put it past you; you play such a strange character.

 

You have been owned!

 

I, Validation Boy, concede.

I didn't think this OP through all that well before posting it.

I hereby grant permission to use ^^this^^ in a Signature.

 

I thought it came from the fresh water and humid jungles of the Carboniferous time, era, epoch or whatever
some 360 to 290 Million years ago.
Lush jungles that produced the highest oxygen levels known on Earth. This aided the development of the largest land arthropods, lacking lungs but using a direct breathing tube system, oxygen content limits their size.

Was it the merging of Gondwana and Laurussia to form Pangea and the obliteration of equatorial water currents that ended the Carboniferous to a relative land desert time

Or​

Did oxygen content just get so high, the Earth went "Apollo 1" on itself.

After the devastation of the lush green lands, all that dead carbon laying around got buried, pressured, and lots of incubation time to become "crude". Oil that is, not manners.

Besides memory, I have this handy wall chart.
I love History and Timeline posters.

Enjoy.
I lost my best ancient history of the world posters. Link me if you can. Gracias.

Do YOU know the word, "atavism"?

There is also an abiogenic oil.

Abiogenic sources of oil have been found, but never in commercially profitable amounts. The controversy isn't over whether naturally forming oil reserves exist, said Larry Nation of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. It's over how much they contribute to Earth's overall reserves and how much time and effort geologists should devote to seeking them out.

Well, science class was a long time ago, but my understanding was it was composed of algae and plankton that had collected over hinders of thousands of years on the ocean floor and then been covered by sedements and compressed for more hundreds of thousands of years.

Read that just a minute ago. Googled cause I got curious.

 

oil comes from organic matter ...

 

Eco-types hate abiogenic oil because it may not be as finite as they try to promote.

 

Oil is not made from dead dinosaurs. For the most part, it's dead algae (primarily foraminiferans).

We've found plenty of dinosaur fossils. I've actually talked to people who have found them.

 

Even the ancients were finding dinosaur fossils and wondering about them.............

What are you jabbering about "paychecks"?

 

Hmm, the dinosaur fossil finder I'm talking about was a college student at the time, in a field totally unrelated to paleontology.

The thing is, I'm pretty sure oil, in a human time scale, is a finite resource. Possibly on a geological time scale, it is not.

 

OMG, where to start? First of all, what credentials do you possess that leads you to the above conclusions? I am a geologist who is published in the journal of invertebrate paleontology, and worked at the Louisville Museum of History and Science for four years while I obtained my degree. So I know something about the subject. So let me correct the error of your ways.

1) Oil does not come from the remains of dinosaurs. It comes from the remains of marine bacteria and algae.

2) What is ridiculous about dinosaurs? There are hundreds of thousands of known fossils sitting in collections around the planet. If you really want to know something about them, I suggest you visit a real museum where they are available for study.

3) Whether or not you believe they existed is irrelevant to the fact that they did exist (and in fact, their descendants, the birds, still exist.

4) First of all, artists don't arrange fossil bones. Paleontologists do that job.

5) Secondly, few fossil dinosaurs are found in their complete form. The nature of preservation makes those conditions very rare. Having said that, the Chicago Field Museum possesses the largest, and most complete (80%) T-Rex in existence. It is a female, and yes, you can go have a look at her if you wish.

6) We are not required to prove you wrong. You are required to prove your claim that they never existed. Good luck with that.

7) My information comes from a lifetime as a geologist. From what planet does yours come?

Any questions?

 

The Russians were long ago shown to be wrong in their assumptions. Oil breaks down at temperatures over 150 degrees Celsius. So there is little, if any chance of there being abiogenic oil at the extreme depths they suggest. I don't think there has ever been any unambiguous evidence that supports the notion of the existence of abiogenic oil on Earth. The Earth was simply much too hot during its first billion years to support the presence of abiogenic oil, much less ever preserving it, if it ever did exist.

 

I don't think dinosaurs are a myth, but I did run across something that challenged the idea of the worlds oil coming from past lifeforms- namely the dinosaurs- which would suggest not only a mass extinction in a relatively close period of time, but the submerging of all this massive material in relativley concentrated areas.

I couldn't say for sure, but if that's where your idea came from, I suppose there is room to consider some of the questions it raises...

 

Aye yi yi.

Thats about all I can about this.

 

Besides old oil company commercials, no paleontogists/oilmen have thought that dinosaurs are the main source for fossil fuel. For the most part, it's thought that the great majority of oil is from microscopic organisms primarily marine algae.

 

You have financial and professional motives behind your claims.

Nothing you say on these matters can be taken too seriously, because of this.

Evolution has long been debunked by scientific minds much greater than your own.

An 80% circus side show prop still isn't an actual dinosaur.

For all we know, all those fossils could be just as staged as bigfoot.

Artists could be responsible for all of them.

I still do not believe they exist, and never will.

And what's all this I've been hearing about the Brontosaurus now being taken out of all museums and no longer being officially recognized as a species?
