RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:20 days Jimmy, if you don't think fossils are not indicative of oil why do you think they call oil and coal, etc. "fossil fuels"? Do your homework before you call something "ridiculous"!

After drilling oil over many years, it became obvious that specific types of fossils are found in layers of rock that are more likely to contain oil. These fossils are called index fossils because they indicate the likely presence of oil.
