Like... trillions of dinosaurs would have died over that time span. Also, trees and other poo poo, but still.

Data Graham posted:And as we all know when a critter dies in the woods it turns into oil Yes? Because of the whole "matter can't be destroyed" law, things are eating things eating things eating things and with every successive step waste matter is going to decay. Like the poop a bear took today is on its way to being oil because he pooped out some digested salmon. So there's literally salmon biomass in the woods becoming oil this very second. Tons of it. For the last several thousand years bears have existed they've been making future gasoline out of salmon.

I'm saying the lifespan of an animal is pretty infinitesimal compared to the processes that convert biomass into oil. Like I can see a peat bog or primeval forest getting compressed into oil over millions of years, sure. But in the interim you're talking about a dinosaur decomposing and skeletonizing over the course of a few years, after being alive for a few decades? It's basically a tiny blip of time in which those molecules weren't just dirt. Now they're slightly more biological dirt. I mean we're saying the same thing just in different vocabulary. I just think that in the time scales we're talking about it barely makes sense to think of the precursor materials of the oil being "dinosaurs" when that's just one small stage of its cycle.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Are you under the impression there was only one generation during that entire span? Sure, but three things. One: most of those were the size of rats. Two: burying them in the right conditions for them to pyrolyse into oil would have required them to be under massive layers of sediment in anoxic environments, which would have been a near-zero percentage of the total. Three: we've extracted over 900 cubic kilometres of oil since 1870. There just hasn't ever been enough dinosaurs to account for them. Also, the conditions that I described for oil to form is exactly what happens to the tidal continent-sized blooms of algae and plankton that regularly form in modern times. Like I'm happy for you to have these arguments but they were settled in the 60s. Unless you're Russian, in which case the Glorious State has decreed that oil comes from the planet's core and you're welcome to argue with that if you like gulags.
