Exactly why I put (?) behind ‘fossil’. Ya know, just how many friggin’ dinosaurs and how much flora and fauna do these people think there was/were anyway? I’ve seen several articles about “abiotic” petroleum in the past few years. I’m kinda leaning that direction. Which reminds me, I gotta go fill up Mrs. rktmans car this morning. And no, I am NOT saying she is a dinosaur. ;-)

About 250+ million years worth?

The abiotic oil hypothesis is an attempt to explain the source and formation of petroleum. As the name suggests, the hypothesis proposes that oil originates from non-biological origins. The hypothesis is mostly Soviet, mostly archaic, and mostly debunked. In the Anglophone world, abiotic oil proponents tend to cite the work of the late astrophysicist (read: not geologist) Thomas Gold http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Abiotic_oil
