No, it is formed when forests die and are covered with layers of rock which compress it and over time turns it into coal. Buried remains of marine organisms formed oil, following mass extinctions,where the oceans have stagnated.

What is liquid from the remains of marine organisms?
Fossils are formed from the buried remains of marine organisms. These organisms are under a tremendous amount of pressure and, over time, they fossilize.
How is oil formed?
During periods of extreme global warming, which were mass extinction events both 90 and 150 million years ago, the oceans became stagnent, and most marine organisms died, sunk to the bottom and were buried by sediment.Oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants (diatoms) that lived millions of years ago in a marine (water) environment before the dinosaurs. Over millions of years, the remains of these animals and plants were covered by layers of sand and silt. Heat and pressure from these layers helped the remains turn into what we today call crude oil. The word "petroleum" means "rock oil" or "oil from the earth"Oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants that lived million years ago in a marine (water) environment before the dinosaurs.oil=natalie
A rock formed from living organisms?
Many rocks can contain fossil organisms. Generally speaking, sedimentary rocks are the rock type that contains the most fossil organisms. Coquina, a type of limestone, is formed nearly completely by the shells of marine organisms. And coal is a sedimentary rock composed of the remains of ancient swamp plants.
Which kind of sedimentary rock is formed by cemented shells of marine organisms?
Limestone
What is diatamachious Earth?
Diatomaceous earth is a mineral formed from the skeletons of tiny marine organisms called diatoms.
What is liquid from the remains of marine organisms?
Fossils are formed from the buried remains of marine organisms. These organisms are under a tremendous amount of pressure and, over time, they fossilize.
What do you call a thick brown liquid formed from the buried remains of microscopic marine organisms?
oil
What is a resource formed mainly from the remains of microscopic-sized marine organisms buried beneath the ground?
Coal
What is black liquid formed from the buried remains of microscopic marine organisms is?
Crude oil comes from these remains but it takes a very long time for them to form.
What is the thick black liquid formed from the buried remains of microscopic marine organisms?
Crude oil comes from these remains but it takes a very long time for them to form.
What is a resource formed mainly by microscopic sized marine organisms buried beneath the ground?
oil
How does petroleum form?
Petroleum is formed under Earth's surface by the decomposition of marine organisms. The remains of tiny organisms. EW!
How are oil and natural gas formed?
Both oil and natural gas are the compressed remains of marine organisms. Both are made due to pressure and heat under buried layers of rock over millions of years.
Can shells become limestone?
They can, and do. Chalk and coquina are examples of limestone formed from skeletal or shell remains of marine organisms.
What is the resource formed mainly from the remains of microscopic-sized marine organism?
A resource formed mainly from the remains of microscopic-sized marine organisms buried beneath the ground petroleum. The kind of energy produced when billions of atomic nuclei from uranium are split apart in a fission reaction is nuclear.
Many caves in the eastern US were formed with what kind of sedimentary rock that contained remains of ancient marine life?
I believe it is Bioclastic sedimentary rock--coquina although it was formed by shells of marine organisms.
How is Dolomite formed in nature?
When magnesium carbonate replaces part of all the calcium magnesium in limestone skeletal remains marine organisms.
