An actual geologist might disagree. The idea that oil comes from dinosaur is a popular myth.

In contrast, geologists have long believed that zooplankton and algae are the source of petroleum. And we know that plants form coal, not oil.

en.wikipedia.org

But since you seemed convinced of the source of the oil, how do you know this? I'd be interested to know how petroleum survives the temperatures in the mantle (500-900C), since petroleum cracks into gas and methane below 500C.
en.wikipedia.org

If the mantle (just below the crust) is really full of oil, why is there an oil window, below which you find little oil?

And like I said before, how do you know all this? Or better yet, how do you know the "pseudo-scientists" are incorrect? After all, most of them work for oil companies, who have a vested interest in knowing the origins of petroleum.
