Suggestion

How about you guys talk about the fossils found in the ocean or something like that.

Very informative

While I don’t always agree with the opinions of the hosts the facts that they present are so interesting and there aren’t many places to get information oof this subject. I don’t mind hearing an opposing view on things and I appreciate it expanding my views even though I can be a bit stubborn.

Stone spheres

I believe these stone spheres are hammerstones used in ‘pecking’ another stone into shape, as in ‘peck and grind’ a stone axe. After much use, they take on this shape and with more work will become even more round.
