Jon: What's with all those big towers in the field there?
Don: They're drilling for fossil water
Jon: WTF is that?
Don: 100,000,000 years ago there was a swamp here where lots of plants & dinos died -- now there's only fossil water!

A "Pretendian" is a term often used by Indians to describe someone who falsely claims Indigenous ancestry or cultural identity without any legitimate basis. This term is often applied to individuals who disrespectfully appropriate/change Indigenous cultures or traditions for personal gain (in an effort to seem more exotic or interesting than they really are.)
Similar to a “pretendian”, Black Americans have a play on the term "Foundational Black Americans" (FBAs) — "Fossilized Black Americans."
Just like “Pretendians”, Fossilized Black Americans cling to any minuscule amount of African DNA remnant from their ancestors, to try to legitimately claim that they are part of the black identity in the present (Even if authentic, dark-skinned Black Americans don’t see them as black; Even when they don’t look black; Even when they’re extremely distanced from blackness and black culture)
They are fossils of the former identity that their ancestors embodied.

Generational racism found in the middle aged and elderly. They are honoring hate their parents gave them. Like any fossil, they try to hide - only to show up in weird places.

By definition Dancing Fossils is a somewhat common sight you will see in warm weather retirement communities. Retirees can be seen hitting the dance floor of their favorite bar dancing to an old tune from their past . Hence they are dubbed Dancing Fossils by the locals.
eg Hey Larry, I see your Uncle Fred that just had a hip replacement is out on the dance floor with the rest of those old dancing fossils ! Larry replies ; yeah he can’t help himself, he heard Twist and Shout come on the jukebox and had to get out there
