Oil is formed from the compressed remains of plankton. It is not made from fossils or considered a fossil, despite the name "fossil fuel". What actually happens is that, over millions of years the pressure from the ground would eventually turn it to a liquid. A liquid we call "oil".

Hence why we call them 'fossil fuels'. Oil and gas comes from sea animals and coal comes from ancient forests.
