In Response To: Peak oil (Dieter)

"This forests or whatever were laid to waste as the earth moved into a different age"

I think you may be thinking that there was "one" catastrophic event that laid down the material for what we have today...in reality it was an on going event that more likely had these dead plants being moved by natural events such as rains\floods(like the Gulf o Mexico)...possibly glacial movement...into a basen where they were collected covered and compressed to different degrees. Also, they may have grown and died in place over a peroid of time in a swampy area etc.

Most of the oil...I think conventional widom has it these days...comes from ocean critters(foraminefera and such)... dieing...and being treated to compression...a process that goes on to this very day.

Other theories have it that oil is produced from some chemical reactions that occur deep within the earth which migrates until it gets trapped in some srtucture where it then pools.

I don't know if this theory has ever been prooved but the ocean floor does seem to seep a lot of oil.
