Well, that's what oil and coal are. Oil is formed from marine biomass, and coal is formed from plants.

The rate at which these are formed over time is very very small. Almost all carbon fixed by photosynthesis is oxidized over a much shorter time scale.

Coal no longer forms, oil is still forming but far slower than the rate consumed.
