The outer layers of the planet’s interior. It is a very big volume packed with lots of elements. Carbon did not originate on the surface. It was present throughout the mass.
I think it is fully retarded to think the crude that deep in the ground came from dinosaurs congregating on the surface, and then draining into the lower depths.
The Russians said this decades ago.
Bttt
It’s a byproduct from the Earth’s core
The production of hydrocarbons is meaningless. The ONLY question with whether fossil fuels are really from prehistoric life is where is the carbon coming from. To be clear: Producing hydrocarbons out of carbon does increase the amount of energy that can be extracted; that’s why natural gas is “greener” than coal. But if the hydrocarbons are made from coal, they are still fossil fuels.
Yes, but it seems like the IBD writer is confused into supposing that the Nature article has anything at all to do with what the Russians claimed.

Dinocorp cartoons aside, fossil fuels have 0.0000001% to do with dinosaurs, and absolutely 0% to do with anything “congregating” on the surface. When you have such an absolute knowledge of what you’re talking about, it’s retarded to call people who have studied this their entire lives (not me) “retarded.” The world is full of places where plant matter is in the process of being converted into coal, even though for many reasons, this happened chiefly during a single epoch.
Ever since I first heard the term “fossil fuel” in the 5th grade, I knew it was BS.
There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel
Did we have the same teacher?
Wow, I’m amazed that there are still scientists around allowed to talk like this.
I see the researchers were from Woods Hole Oceanographic, a group which had previously been investigating abiogenic origins of oil in other locations.
We didn’t land on the moon either...
This research is racist and homophobic and must be stopped immediately. For the sake of the children. And Mother Earth!
This doesn’t address the question of why they want to kill us anyway.
If “fossil fuel” was real, then dinosaurs roamed the deep ocean floors where oil is constantly being discovered.
Or does oil originate from fossilized sharks?
As someone whose first job was with a global oil research company, “fossil fuels” is a hoax.
Gee, I guess that moves petroleum in the “renewable resource” column.
As a huge fan of carbon, this is wonderful news!
And it approaches super semi retarded to conclude dinosaurs existed in numbers sufficient to form roughly 80m barrels of oil/day (worldwide crude oil production).
The big question now is: will fracking chemicals kill the continued oil production?
