Well “accutate” ain’t accurate either.. but the definition remains as this:
“fossil fuel, any of a class of hydrocarbon-containing materials of biological origin occurring within Earth’s crust that can be used as a source of energy.” Encyclopedia Britanica
Just look up fossil-fuel definition and they’re all about the same and anyone who says differently might be argumentative down at the atomic level on certain things. Okay... that’s a given... but the definition remains.
Biologique’s are organic matter... rocks aren’t organic, I’m not for certain but rocks might not fossilize either. But carbon can be confusing which also might answer the mail on why nobidy seems to recognize the value organic chemistry. The press and mist politicians don’t seem to anyway.

Very good.
Thank you for making this informed point.
The bulk of the “fossils” that fossilize to become potential fuel comprises vegetable matter—plant life—no?
The carbon plants use to grow, the carbon that allows grass to grow into the air as blades of grass, and trees to grow inyo the air as towers of wood, is inspired (breathed) in by those plants not from the soil, but from the surrounding air—oir atmosphere.
The very surface of the earth grows year by year like a layer cake in some lush areas such as rolling, grass-covered hills in southern England. Many times it’s why archaeologists have to use ground-penetrating radar and dig 10-15 feet to find the foundations of ancient roman buildings there.
It follows that periods of high CO2 or peak CO2 in the atmosphere will leave behind the richest veins of fossil fuels in the earth/in the ground.

Just to be argumentative, methane is found in many planets of our solar system. Especially the giant ones - where no biological life has ever existed.
Also volcanic eruptions often contain methane.
And there’s also this.
