To ruin the joke i learned recently that oil comes exclusively from dead marine life 🤓
but that T-Rex served as a marine
That t-rex was a swimmer 🏊
Fun fact: we now know for a fact that many dinosaurs could swim, including T Rex! How do we know? There are footprints that get smaller and shallower as the dinos got deeped into the water, eventually reduced to just small scratches by the tips of their claws and eventually disappearing altogether. It looks something like this:
How do they know they weren’t taking off? Maybe they were able to fly without wings!
Awesome fact btw
Then there’d be one really deep print as they kicked off.
I read that algae actually makes up more of what we know as oil than decomposed dinosaurs.
Edit: the source of that tidbit. He does a cool demo at the beginning.
Algae and plankton. It also obviously takes longer than a few minutes, like at least an hour.
At least
