>>>It does no harm to be factual regarding the origin of the commodity in which we are invested. The idea that oil came from dinosaurs is as wrong as abiotic oil. You need biomass to form oil, with the emphasis on mass. This was bacteria, algae, fungi, plants and invertebrates such as nematodes. Vertebrates contributed a miniscule amount.<<< Thank you. The dinosaurs were mesozoic, --Triassic/Jurassic. Most oil and gas is older--paleozoic--Permian on down--sediments. I know that and all I ever had was a one-hour credit geology course offered by the Lowell Institute for which I paid about $15. I got Harvard academic credit, however, for that course. About the price of a cut-rate pizza. One topping.
