When something dies, the carnivores get theirs, and then the scavengers get theirs, and then the flies and maggots get theirs, and after that all that's left is bones. I've never yet seen anything die and then lie there and turn into oil.

Oil comes from dead microscopic plankton (diatoms, algae, etc.) from either ancient oceans or lakes.

Has nothing to do with dead land animals.

Try being more patient.

That's because you yourself would have died at those pressures and temperatures.
