Best Answer

Most of the Carbon in both coals and oils come from Flora and Fauna, i.e animals and plants. Over thousands of years the natural carbon from the lifeforms (usually from wet areas like swamps or shallow marine areas) are compressed, recieving a tonne of pressure, until eventually becoming coal seams that we see today.
