Yes, many dinosaur fossils have been found on the Alaskan North Slope. But most petroleum geologists and those in related fields that find oil believe that the primary organic source of oil is items like plankton and algae.

Keep in mind that the sedimentary rock most oil is found is from a time period older than the current location of our continents.

Ha ha ha. Yeah, that's why most of the oil wells aren't on land or a continental shelf.
