A Ocean’s Eight of suspects are proposed:
Deb oxidizes chemicals in brine.
Lou stratified the oceans unopposed.
An authigenic calcite? Nineball hack.
Designer alteration? Style by Rose.
Did Daphne have a clathrate gas attack?

knows.
Amita’s impact smashes carbon well.
Fence Tammy smuggles oil off the clocks.
Compound-specific isotopes will tell
A mineral-alkane offset in the rocks.
Our primary
producers stashed the score
But oil maturation
leaked once more.
