Flame away but I believe that oil comes from sand under pressure and not from dead animals.

Oil is a hydrocarbon...something not obtained from silicon (i.e. sand).
It may or may not (odds are: not) have come from dead animals. It could be supplied from beneath the Earth's crust, or from a variety of sources.
Other hydrocarbons *have* been detected on at least one Moon of Saturn.

Well, it don't come from dead animals. But it certainly doesn't come from pressuruzing sand, at least in any conventional way of defining sand (SiO). It appears to bubble up from the moho boundary.

And that is a fact that has been just recent brought to light.

Your're pretty close. there's lots of critters in there though, just smaller than the sand grains.

I don't know where oil comes from but I believe that what I was taught fifty years ago was that it came from plant matter, not animals.
