He was asked to use his geological knowledge and he did a good job without all the mumbo jumbo.

There's a near-infinity of difference between the disciplines of geologist, archaeologist and paleontologist. Apparently Wolter doesn't know that or doesn't care -- dollar signs as you say. The show's unwatchable.

The show is pretty bad. But different disciplines can and and do work together. Luis and Walter Alverez were a physicist and geologist whose research in iridium in the K-Pg (K-T) boundary set the paleontology world on end with their asteroid apocalypse theory. Though not all buy into that theory either.
