I thought that's one of the things that was supposed to support the ToE, that it could be used to predict stuff, like where to find other fossils.

You would think wrong. Evolution teaches us many things but the location of fossils is a new one on me.

If predicting things is unscientific, then you might as well throw most of science out now.

Science forms hypothesis based on what it has uncovered. It does not 'predict' ala Nostradamus.

If I could find the posts, I certainly would put them up, but that has come from your camp.

It was addressed when the topic of what kind of predictions the ToE could make. The discussion was that the ToE could not predict what the next step in the evolution of any species would be and then the example of where to look for fossils was trotted out.
