It looks like you received answers on your original post but just didn't like them.

Like them? Im simply looking for an actual expert(s) not random comments from the internet. I think most those answers are plausible.

You received multiple answers from archaeologists. You could DM them to follow up and verify.

I mean, I wouldn’t just take a reddit comment’s word for it, even if they did say they were a geologist. There’s value in meeting someone face to face or having an offline conversation with them. Reddit is a fine place to start, but that’s about it

Totally agree. Hence the "Dm them to follow up and verify"

I’m sorry, I discounted that because I didn’t think beyond the DM. Like, if you DM them, you are still on reddit… but following up via email or phone as a consequence of the DM didn’t occur to me until you responded

You solicited random comments on the internet and that's what ya got. I'd email a museum or university for a specific person's opinion, not post to Reddit

The foremost expert on geology in that area is Dr. Bill Cannon from the US Geological Survey.

I would take that to state college geology or archaeology department and try to catch a professor’s office hours!
