So you believe that millions of greasy dinosaurs, all died in clusters, the world over, at the same time, and were covered with thousands of feet of rock and soil, so that they never had a chance to deteriorate, on the surface. Or explain how those same clusters of animals ended up a few thousand feet below the floor of the Gulf of Mexico. Or maybe, back in dinosaur days, when an animal died, the bacteria and creatures, which cause deterioration, didn't exist, so they just laid there, and piled up. You can only surmise, how that oil got thousands of feet below the surface.

What is the base of a diamond? What is the base of oil?

Wow... okay... first off most fossil fuel deposits are caused by plankton, which sink to the bottom of whatever sea they happen to be in when they die. Given time this will result in quite the pile, as you say. Other geologic processes (silt deposition, tectonic activity, glacial movement, etc.) can reposition these layers up on continents, below the ocean floor, you name it.

Now, your questions... the basis of a diamond is elemental carbon. The basis of oil and other fossil fuels are a combination of complex organic molecules. You won't get much beyond methane without involving a living organism to add the complexity for you.
