Essentially, oil comes from plankton
It kills them. Plankton are myriad different sea creatures. They all die. Some bacteria can actually ingest oil, though.
plankton
Crude oil comes from the ground after many millions of plankton die. This is a process that takes thousands of years. Plankton is actually a plant, not an animal.
Oil contains what we call prehistoric substances, such as ancient, decomposed plankton and algae.
Plankton died and sank down to the bottom of the oceans where they mingled with rotting vegetation over hundreds of millions of years ago (before the dinosaurs). Sand and rocks fell on top. The pressure over the years turned the organic matter into coal and oil.

No. Oil comes primarily from dead algae laid down on the ocean floor. The oild itself forms in pore spaces in the rock, and later travels to pockest through faults and permeable rock layers.
Probably no
Nothing really. The story that oil comes from the bodies of dead dinosaurs is out by about 70 million years. Oil comes from plankton.

Yes that is how fossil fuels are made. As plankton and other organisms die they sink to the sea bed. After a long time (millions of years they are covered by sediment and compressed under huge pressure and subjected to lots of heat. This process creates oil which is the basis for all our non renewable fuels
