geology, n. The science of the earth's crust - to which doubtless, will be added that of its interior whenever a man shall come up garrulous out of a well. The geological formations of the globe already noted are catalogued thus:
The primary, or lower one, consists of rocks, bones of mired mules, gas pipes, miners tools, antique statues minus the nose, Spanish doubloons and ancestors. The secondary is made up of red worms and moles. The tertiary comprises railway tracks, patent pavements, grass, snakes, moldy boots, beer bottles, tomato cans, intoxicated citizens, garbage, anarchists, snap dogs and fools. -Ambrose Bierce

The fungus that feeds on plant material did not evolve until 50 million years after trees, so whenever a tree died the wood piled up with nothing to rot it away; eventually it would just sink under the ground. That's why there's so much oil (hence, "fossil" fuels).

That's why there's so much oil (hence, "fossil" fuels). And yet bacteria did exist before trees came to be and causes the destruction of dead trees which is why they did not pile up. This material for the most part would not sink into the ground if it did not decompose but be carried away by erosion. Then there is the fact that most oil is derived from marine plant material.
