Not quite IQ.
The Yucatan meteor may or may not have wiped out the dinosaurs .But(dl) fossil fuels were laid down long before that .Coal 280 million years ago or more and oil 300 million years ago .
Dinosaurs appeared in the Triassic about 260 Million years go and lasted as you imply till about 65 million years ago .
I do not know why they did not re-emerge after the meteor catastrophe

Platinum
Platinum is the principal metal of the six-metal group that bears its name; the other platinum group metals are palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, and iridium. All possess unique chemical and physical qualities that make them vital industrial materials.
Jewelry creates the largest demand for platinum, accounting for 51%. Automotive catalysts take 29% and chemical and petroleum refining catalysts, 13%.
Platinum is used in the computer industry and in other high-tech electronic applications since it is an excellent conductor of electricity, does not corrode, and has a low reactivity with other metals. This sector accounts for about 7% of consumption.
Platinum is among the world′s scarcest metals; new mine production totals approximately only 5 million troy ounces a year. In contrast, gold mine production runs approximately 82 million ounces a year, and silver production is approximately 547 million ounces.
Supplies of platinum are concentrated in South Africa, which accounts for approximately 80% of supply; Russia, 11%; and North America, 6%.
Because of the metal′s importance as an industrial material, its relatively low production, and concentration among a few suppliers, prices can be volatile. For this reason, it is often considered attractive to investors.

Gold
Perhaps no other market in the world has the universal appeal of the gold market. For centuries, gold has been coveted for its unique blend of rarity, beauty, and near indestructibility. Nations have embraced gold as a store of wealth and a medium of international exchange; individuals have sought to possess gold as insurance against the day-to-day uncertainties of paper money.
COMEX Division gold futures and options provide an important alternative to traditional means of investing in gold such as bullion, coins, and mining stocks.
Gold futures contracts are also valuable trading tools for commercial producers and users of the metal. Commercial concentrations of gold are found in widely distributed areas: in association with ores of copper and lead, in quartz veins, in the gravel of stream beds, and with pyrites (iron sulfide). Seawater contains astonishing quantities of gold, but its recovery is not economical.
The greatest early surge in gold refining followed the first voyage of Columbus. From 1492 to 1600, Central and South America and the Caribbean islands contributed significant quantities of gold to world commerce. Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, and Hispaniola contributed 61% of the world′s newfound gold during the 17th century. In the 18th century, they supplied 80%.
Following the California gold discovery of 1848, North America became the world′s major gold supplier; from 1850 to 1875, more gold was discovered than in the previous 350 years. By 1890, the gold fields of Alaska and the Yukon were the principal sources of supply and, shortly afterwards, discoveries in the African Transvaal indicated deposits that exceeded even these. Today, the principal gold producing countries include South Africa, the United States, Australia, Canada, China, Indonesia, and Russia.
The United States first assigned a formal monetary role for gold in 1792, when Congress put the nation′s currency on a bimetallic standard, backing it with gold and silver.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, most nations were forced to sever their currency from gold in an attempt to stabilize their economies.
Gold formally reentered the world′s monetary system in 1944, when the Bretton Woods agreement fixed all the world′s paper currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar which in turn was tied to gold. The agreement was in force until 1971, when President Nixon effectively cancelled it by ending the convertibility of the dollar into gold.
Today, gold prices float freely in accordance with supply and demand, responding quickly to political and economic events.
Gold is a vital industrial commodity. It is an excellent conductor of electricity, is extremely resistant to corrosion, and is one of the most chemically stable of the elements, making it critically important in electronics and other high-tech applications.
A broad cross-section of companies in the gold industry, from mining companies to fabricators of finished products, can use the COMEX Division gold futures and options contracts to hedge their price risk. Furthermore, gold has traditionally had a role in investment strategies, and gold futures and options can be found in investors′ portfolios.

Silver
Silver has attracted man′s interest for thousands of years. In ancient times, silver deposits were plentiful on or near the earth′s surface. Relics of ancient civilizations, include jewelry, religious artifacts, and food vessels formed from the durable, malleable metal.
In 1792, silver assumed a key role in the United States monetary system when Congress based the currency on the silver dollar, and its fixed relationship to gold. Silver was used for the nation′s coinage until its use was discontinued in 1965.
At the turn of the century, an even more important economic function was emerging for silver, that of an industrial raw material.
Today, silver is sought as a valuable and practical industrial commodity, and as an appealing investment. The largest industrial users of silver are the photographic, jewelry, and electronic industries.
Newly mined metal provides most of the needed supply, and Mexico, the United States, and Peru are the primary producers. Secondary silver sources include coin melt, scrap recovery, and dishoarding from countries where export is restricted. Secondary sources are particularly price sensitive.
Mining companies, fabricators of finished products, and users of silver-content industrial materials can use the COMEX Division silver futures and options contracts to manage their price risk. As a precious metal, silver also plays a role in investment portfolios.
