Well they are vinyl, so no elephants were killed. But we finally found a vinyl that can be used to replace these.

Looks very nice. With that said, how many dinosaurs were killed to make the oil which was refined into the vinyl? Hahaha!

And science would disagree with Rockefeller.

Oil is made from algae and plankton deposits from the Carboniferous and Permian, long before there were any dinosaurs.
There's also no fossilization involved in the process.

The (false) notion of "fossil" fuel and dinosaurs comes from the massive 1930's ad campaign of Sinclair Oil with their dinosaur mascot.

Also worth mentioning that finding a dinosaur to kill these days is pretty tough.
