All dinosaurs may have bones, but not all bones are from dinosaurs.

This is not the poster is pointing out.

It's basically two booleans that don't go together

Is the mountains older than the dinosaurs = false

Is the mountains older than bones = true

They should both be true, but the writer had the first be false, hence leading to all dinosaurs being boneless. I guess it's a colloquialism in the English language, otherwise all y'all wouldn't had downvote the poster for being pedantic
