Horner explained that oil "doesn't come from dinosaurs at all." Oil is formed from zooplankton and algae in oceans. In fact, if you would take all the dinosaurs that ever lived and squeezed the oil out of them, we would probably run out of that oil in days. Vsauce asked if there could be a tiny molecule from dinosaurs in every thousand gallons of oil. Jack Horner explained that all oil comes from marine life, so the dinosaurs (land animals) did not contribute to it.

abstract	Horner explained that oil "doesn't come from dinosaurs at all." Oil is formed from zooplankton and algae in oceans. In fact, if you would take all the dinosaurs that ever lived and squeezed the oil out of them, we would probably run out of that oil in days. Vsauce asked if there could be a tiny molecule from dinosaurs in every thousand gallons of oil. Jack Horner explained that all oil comes from marine life, so the dinosaurs (land animals) did not contribute to it. So, petroleum can not contain DNA from dinosaurs or any other land animal. That does not rule out DNA from marine animals or the actual plankton and algae from which almost all the oil was made. However, there have been no reports of ancient DNA or any other biomolecule in petroleum.
