I’ve always wondered how a bunch of dinosaurs got together and conveniently died in the same spot, miles below earths surface...
—dinosaurs didn’t have anything to do with it—
Okay, so the “organic” origin of petroleum is a hypothesis, not a proven fact. The hypothesis isn’t the origin of crude oil is “dead dinosaurs” per se, but a rather layer upon layer of remains of all sorts of dead plant and animal life. The hypothesis is widely accepted, but some skeptics point out that petroleum has been found deeper (e.g., 6 miles down) than any true fossil ever has.
It’s not dinosaurs. It’s organic material. And it’s pretty easy to see how that’s possible.
A lot of people…even on FR…believe just that. 🙄
