Comment on I have a question on how and when coal actually formed.
starlinguk@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThere is no formation process. Coal exists because there were NO microbes to rot organic materials down. Coal stopped forming when microbes arrived on the scene.

Are there any other fossile files that still form? Like in a swamp somewhere where the microbes can’t keep up? Or are fossile fule formation totaly a thing of the past?
