Could you check the total? I voted for the stream/marshy ground.

I was expecting someone to question "nasamonite", but he/she didn't. It's 
real, but unidentified. It appears in this quote from Gaius Julius Solinus in 
De mirabilibus mundi:
Nasamonitem lapidem Nasamones dant, sanguineum universum, nigris venulis 
adumbratum.
Which means: The nasamonite stone the Nasamones give, blood-red overall, 
shaded with black veins.
The Nasamones were a North African tribe mentioned also by Pliny Senior and 
Herodotus.

In the yeggogology round (2018-08), we agreed that Eric would run the next 
round after I win.
