>> There are oxygen poor places in the world (deep trenches, etc.) where organic material accumulates. You haven't dived deep enough. The theory is conditions were such that these areas once covered (actually, several times in earths history) very large areas. I suppose this could be a klug. Anyway, wouldn't some fossil be left IN the oil if a sudden catastrophe buried it? The current theory explains it because the oil organic materials have to travel through sand to form oil. << Some field reservoirs have the oil of billions of tons of heat rendered animal material. How was this all gathered together before it rotted and buried in a miles deep hole? Explain Gathered, buried, sealed, rendered in your sequence. What's a klug? There are fossils, fractures, biologicals, salt plugs and sands with most oil? My theory predicts all these just like traditional. My theory can get the volumes of meat to the stove. How does yours?
