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

DM’s are untrustworthy but random responses you get from a different thread are?

That’s not what I said

Why do you care so much? They asked again here. Move on.
