Original Note:
Fossil fuels come from an old definition of fossil (obtained by digging; found buried in the earth). It is a misnomer as they do not originate from fossils, but organic matter. https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/06/28/though-ancient-fossil-fuels-dont-actually-come-from-fossils/?sh=38db12056081 https://www.britannica.com/story/do-fossil-fuels-really-come-from-fossils In some cases, it can be created with the absence of organic material. https://www.nature.com/articles/news020812-3#:~:text=At%20extreme%20temperatures%20and%20pressures,at%20extreme%20temperatures%20and%20pressures.
