From CHIP WILLIAMS: German scientist Casper Newman proposed in the 1750's that crude oil was formed from the dead biomass of dinosaurs, trees and plankton over millions of years.He coined the phrase "Fossil Fuels" and supposed that the supply was limited and that it would eventually run out.In 2008 Russian professor VG Kutcherov published a paper (cited in comments) proposing that "fossil fuels" are formed in an abiogenic process deep in the earth's mantle and leaks up thru cracks until they are trapped in horizontal layers of sedimentary rocks.Oil has been found miles below the deepest fossils ever discovered and no fossil or genetic traces have ever been found in oil.Oil is likely not the product of organic decay but is still being produced under high temperatures and pressures deep in the earth's mantle.Time to update the textbooks.https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1029/2008RG000270?fbclid=IwAR3b6W8bTkwUpnGNChEfU-ln_H_CaBbdNaog5dZ1LoDx4c5I9qjcpSEqwAo
