"And the lion's share of the <<bacteria, algae, fungi, plants and invertebrates such as nematodes>> were all partying in Arabia? Seems hard to believe. I have no idea where oil came from, but the biological hypothesis seems a bit of a stretch." I am not a geologist but there are other considerations..for instance in Saudi Arabia I believe the surrounding rock formations made it ideal for oil to pool as opposed to many other parts of the world.
