The oil we pump up from the North Sea is made from algae and plankton.

There is no fact on what exactly goes into creating oil, so it could be plankton but it could also be some other mechanism we are not aware of. All of the information I can find about the natural creation of oil uses terms like "theory" or "consensus" which indicates we have no actual proof of the true answer. They may be correct or maybe not, maybe plankton or dinosaurs or both or neither.
