Dinosaurs were not involved in making the oil but plankton.
Not that, either. Please read this article and open a Google tab beside it, as you'll be looking up a lot of terms.
The evolution of multicomponent systems at high pressures: VI. The thermodynamic stability of the hydrogen
The very last paragraph of the conclusion section reads as follows:
"The H–C system does not spontaneously evolve heavy hydrocarbons at pressures less than ≈30 kbar, even in the most favorable thermodynamic environment. The H–C system evolves hydrocarbons under pressures found in the mantle of the Earth and at temperatures consistent with that environment. "
Plankton is not found in the mantle of the earth. Below the crust of the earth... That is about 100 km down or more!
