          Look I just learn stuff that college teaches me okay. So decaying trees, plants and animals (dinosaurs) are the primary source of oil. Oil is being made daily based on decaying organic material. This is why the planet has so much of it.

          some of them likely did, given the current theory of how oil happens. dead organic material is dead organic material.

          there’s just more vegetation than animal matter.

        The goo is trees that were buried before bacteria and fungi learned to eat hydrocarbons. 0% dinosaurs.

        Well, I mean, I can probably only guarantee no more than 3% dinosaur.

    Stegosaurus really isn’t the best example of a long lasting clade of dinosaurs. These losers didn’t even make it to the Cretaceous !

        No. Sharks are not dinosaurs.

          Sharks have been around for over 450 million years.

    people still think we’re invincible

    Who? The peons concerned about climate change and ecosystem collapse? Or the billionaires injecting kids’ blood into themselves, launching rockets to colonize Mars, or begging for donations to get them into the right afterlife?

    Well, we have brains we can use to spot and destroy or redirect incoming asteroids. So yeah I am. Also stegosaurus was long extinct by the time of asteroid impact.

    Except dinosaurs weren’t taken out and some species like chickens probably have more biomass than ever.

    I think that’s the more horrific scenario anyway - we cause a massive catastrophe but like the end of a slasher franchise, we’re still around to do it all over again.

      There are more species of birds (dinosaurs) alive today than there are mammal species

      10,000 vs 6,000 (ish)

        The bird count is over 11k now! I think something like 11300ish. Let me look it up.

        All wild mammals combined are about 1/10th the biomass of humans.
