Oil Doesn't Come From Dead Dinosaurs

Somehow it’s hard to imagine, even over geologic time, that rotting algae and zooplankton found their way more than a mile under water then another mile under the seabed where some oil is now being found. But it’s easy to imagine pools of liquid hydrocarbons falling through cracks in the Earth made by earthquakes, volcanic eruption or meteor impact.

There’s a lot we don’t know about our planet. We don’t have the ability to scour the entire ocean bottom that makes up 2/3 of our planet’s surface. Nor do we have the ability to travel through the Earth’s crust to view with the naked eye what’s going on.

Hydrocarbons on Saturn’s largest moon should be an eye-opener for scientists and may eventually turn the petroleum world upside down. There may be more oil on our planet than we think, which would be unfortunate.

Unfortunate indeed. For some retarded people...:rolleyes:
 
Why is it hard to understand that dead sea organism sink?
Why is it hard to understand that on the bottom they get covered with mud, sand etc.? (Even whole ships do in a few hundred years. -Ask any sea treasure hunter. I have seen a recovered viking ship in Oslo. - It is well preserved as was deeply buried and thus preserved from decay and oxygen.)
But keep your ideas -don't let facts distrube you.

BTW parts of the Earth's upper layers are going up as well as down. When some rocks that were deep (and thus compressed by high pressure) come up they fracture as the internal stress is released. (Usually in layers and then called "de foiliation," I think) the pieces do not move much one from another so meneralized water usually deposits crystals, often white, in these cracks. I have one that must have exploded as the cracks rung all thru it in many different directions.

Other part of near Earth surface are also and obviously moving down. - Getting deep enough to convert organic material into oil. If gets deeper the oil breaks down into maninly methane (natural gas) and if getting deeper still and even that breaks down. -
The hydrogen leaks away (oil and natural gas may too earlier if not trapped) and the carbon accumulates. - Most commercial coal has been move back up (typically with the mountains now covering it) but some is still too deep to mine economically, I think.

There are no (live) sea urchins in the deep (oxygen free) ~4 degree C sea floor water. Not much life lives permanently* down there - except near some deep sea thermal vents, some strange anaerobic life forms have evolved and can permanently* live near them. - Usually on the energy of free sulpher**, I think, as they are miles deep in total darkness, but this biology is way out of my field - just memory of what I have read.

*There may be some brief aerobic visitors? (Even whales can stay down an hour or so I think; perhaps some small aerobic creatures can stay in that very cold water for a day? Certainly not a spine walking urchin. It could get only a few meters deep into oxygen free water, before dying - perhaps to become oil later. :shrug: :D)

**Converting it to H2S, I think, certainly not to SO2, as no free oxygen down there.

PS don't you ever tire of posting contra-factual nonsense?

Oil, you'll just have to save up for a copy of Spore to get an idea how things evolved and where your beloved crude came from.

I never said otherwise. There are no sea urchins in the mantle either.

The bottom feeders eat biological detritus...:rolleyes:
 
Ever hear of a world-wide flood?
Six billion fat bloated human bodies, many were giants at that.
As the waters went down they collected into massive floating piles along with all the animals...

Just like "Soylent Green"
It wasn't dinosaurs that made the massive oil fields.
Black Gold...Texas Tea........ is people.
 
Well, TheVisitor, that makes about as much sense as OilisMastery's nonsense.

:roflmao:
besides all the rest, but where did you get 6 billion?

Oh? What did you mean in post 4 by:

Your posting contra-factual nonsense and can not even remember your own posts!
 
Billy T, do you know what a sea urchin is?

How about a starfish? Or a crab? Do you know what a bottom feeder is?
 
Were there sea urchins back then ?
And if there were is it plausible they could have eaten all the dead organisms that sank down to ocean floor ?
At what depths do sea urchins live ?

Back when? 24,000 years ago?

The geological description of the Campos Basin suggests that the rock formations in which oil is being found are in Upper Oligocene to Lower Micocene deposits – in other words, deposits from the Cenozoic Era, dating back only some 24,000 years.

The earliest known echinoids are found in the rock of the upper part of the Ordovician period, 450 million years ago.
