Mebbe it's just me, I dunno--- one of those marks looks like an "H", and the one next to it looks like an "M". Now, I suppose its entirely possible that men that long ago could have made marks that look like modern letters--- the Romans used marks not unlike our modern alphabet characters for numbers, in fact much of our modern alphabet is Roman, so I guess the Romans could have "borrowed" it from some more ancient culture. But, those marks still look too new.
Nothing changes, does it. We have quite the debate going on about the "Shroud of Turin". Some believe it may have been the burial cloth of Jesus, others believe it's a Middle Ages forgery designed to imitate the real thing, and there are loud voices on both sides of that argument. Now a shell comes up with recent-looking markings that supposedly were made by human ancestors half a million years ago, and I reckon if we wait here long enough we'll find somebody who will stand for the idea that it's the real deal and not a poorly done forgery. By now you know where I stand on this.
