I was taught in school that oil came from Dinosaurs.

Same -however 'The Oxford English Dictionary notes that in the phrase "fossil fuel" the adjective "fossil" means "[o]btained by digging; found buried in the earth", which dates to at least 1652,[25] before the English noun "fossil" came to refer primarily to long-dead organisms in the early 18th century.[26]'

It was understood back at the time that it was 'something dug out of the ground' but the meaning morphed into 'le dinosaurs' over time and now includes 'fossilized plant material'
