I think Woody Allen did a movie about this.
That is amazing. Cool!
Don’t be late for ‘school’!
Sort of looks like a school of wild undomesticated sperm.
If you zoom in, they are all not pointed in the same direction. Looks to me like they were trapped in a shallow pool with a slight current from left to right. They pointed themselves the best they could to the left to receive the last bit of flow through their gills before they suffocated.
I thought fossilized fish were only found at Long John Silver’s.
Estimated age - 50 million years. Found in limestone, a marine sediment, in Montana; several hundred miles from the ocean. If anything, this disproves the Bibles tribal creation myth. A worldwide flood on a young Earth would have created a thick layer of assorted debris on bedrock, not thin layers of fine marine sediment.
