Dinosaur carcasses are suppose to be the main suppliers of Oil today, or so I have told. My question is, "how many dinsaurs would have had to live, then die and decopose, and not be eaten, to have left all that Dino Fat". There would have to have Dinos shoulder to shoulder east coast to west coast. Figure a nice fat Dino, maybe would leave, what, 55 gals of oil maybe. The way I see it--we would have used up all the Dino oil, in about a week.---My thoughts are Oil is a natural substance, to the planet. I think more is being produced daily. We just use it to fast. I got no facts at all to support my theory. But then I'm not one to let a few facts get in the way of a good story.

I've heard that theory before...

Seņor Raggedo,
Is that avatar a screen capture from Kung Fu Hustle? I loved that flick.

Who needs oil when you have natural gas!? I'm trying to modify my vehicle to run on farts! I just didn't figure out the system yet I'm hoping to get 50 miles per fart..I already figured out how to cover up the smell....http://www.reliablepaper.com/v/vspfi...2979929-2T.jpg if you put that in your exhaust it will smell like fresh cloths. It was tested in my friends underpants and really works...now our farts really smell like roses....

Instead of 'dinosaurs' just read 'all organisms that have been dead long enough to turn into black sludge'.
Includes trees 'n' stuff....... |

Right, but that won't make them turn to oil---just fossilized bones. Which they find near the surface all the time, not thousands of feet underground, and in the gulf, and even the North Sea. How did they get there? Some one mentioned plant life. But all the plants I have ever seen die, just dry up and turn to dust. So where in the World did all those massive pools of oil come from, and why are they only in certain places?? Just seems to make sense to me, that the earth just produces gas and oil as part of it's thing. I got no proof, but it makes more sense to me.

For many millions of years most of the surface of the planet was covered by dense jungle. The trees of that jungle eventually died, fell over and were covered over by other plants. In addition there were more volcanoes in the earlier days and they periodically covered over large stretches of jungle, not all of which would have burned. Even today in jungles and forests you can find dense mats of vegetation covering the ground.

I don't know the chemistry but oil, coal, etc, are primarily carbon just like living things are. The plants are covered over one way or another and are not devoured by anything. They are then subjected to intense pressure and heat as that part of the earth gradually moves lower into the earth. The pressure and heat in an oxygen free environment causes the chemical changes.

Some parts of the crust are always moving up while some parts move down. As a result the surface of the earth is constantly changing. What is on the surface eventually moves down into the depths while what was once deep underground moves to the surface. If some parts weren't moving downward volcanoes and increasing mountain size from plate tectonics would have made the earth hollow.
