It is excellent - must have been really exciting when you spotted it! But (JUST To Be Devil's Advocate) - how did he justify that it's 'genuine' and prehistoric?

And if it was on the beach is there no possibility it was done by a burrowing scraping mollusc??
just stirring.
But I am genuinely interested in his mode of thought.
