These rocks are from a time before eyes, brains, and bones, pieces of a land warmed by an unseen sun.

The rocks will look different when their chemistry will change when exposed to a warmer climate, different climate migrating species grow on them, and they're covered in micro plastics, and worn down by more acidic rains.

And possibly become radioactive if things don't go right.
