Was this the find where they looked at previous geologic surveys, picked out one with the right age, and the right conditions (near river delta), went out and sure-nuf, there were the ancient hominid fossils where none had been found before? That find, even though paltry when measured by weight, was large when measured by theory prediction confirmation. You are right, no other "theory" even tries such things.
This looks like a good day on which to have had something else to do. If that's grammatical, It's a miracle.
The recent fish fossil was found at the expected place also.
