I was just kidding. Figured it was something like that: a kids’ song. :)

It’s difficult to get it out of your head, once you’ve heard it, even once...

That’s quite a remarkable fossil. Talk about bad luck for that school . . .

Many ponds around here, many back yard or seasonal drop run off, all stocked with mosquito fish, small up to 1.5 inches, usually in schools.
As the weather turns hot, the ponds, many of them, dry up.
The last bit of water left before the pond completely goes dry looks just like that fossil arrangement.
Seen it dozens of time.
These fish were likely in such a condition, towards the edge of some water, that became isolated from the main body,then closer and closer together in the evaporating water.
They may have been in a school originally, or just as likely scattered about, but brought close as the volume of water they were in diminished.

"There's room for all types in a newly described fossil that shows 259 baby fish swimming together in a school, approximately 50 million years ago. "Just to put the 50 million years ago time frame into perspective, the Himalaya mountains hadn't yet formed.
BTW,if you look up at the land mass illustration above, just over to the right of where it says, Indian Ocean, there's a rain forest in Malaysia that has been there for 130 million years....it just sat there as India 'scooted' by.
A 130 Million Year-old rainforest in Malaysia, and it's not in Borneo

"Who added junk science to the keywords?"Probably one of the FReepers who believes this garbage:
James Ussher
"James Ussher (or Usher; 4 January 1581 21 March 1656) was the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland between 1625 and 1656. He was a prolific scholar and church leader, who today is most famous for his identification of the genuine letters of the church father, Ignatius, and for his chronology that sought to establish the time and date of the creation as "the entrance of the night preceding the 23rd day of October... the year before Christ 4004"; that is, around 6 pm on 22 October 4004 BC according to the proleptic Julian calendar. "

"There must be a LOT of raking to do." Ha, ha. The amount of composted vegetation that must be there did cross my mind.

The other absurdly stupid troll keyword one sees from time to time is "callingartbell". Guess the troll plans to use a Ouija board.
