There would not have been enough dead dinos or funkified plant matter to create the oil on the planet. I learned about the Earth-cooked oil theory 35 years ago in my geology.

Oil does not come from dead dinos. It mainly comes from plant material that has been buried by sediment, and more deeply buried as time went by, until after geologic time it has gotten to where it was subjected to extreme heat and pressure deep underground

The dead dinos thing was purely poetic license. The plant material part, on the other hand, it’s 20th century thinking.
