The carvings are a little hard to make out. On the left is a figure of a person and on the right is some type of animal. You can see that there are four legs, a tail and what seems to be ears. I can't tell much about what the face looks like. Above the animal is a circle which I'm guessing is sun/moon.

Wow...That's cool. 8) I wonder how many of this type artifact has been passed up not knowing what it was.

Very nice find.

Looks like something I would draw. Very cool find. I wonder if the rock was used to communicate to another in some way or just somebody doodling. Thanks for sharing that.

Kentucky Kache: I'm not aware of any rock or tree carvings in the area.

Americus: I really should not have made it sound like I found it. I've got thousands of artifacts that came from my grandparents farm. I found lots years ago, but I have no idea which ones. This could have been picked up by anyone in my family. I had no idea this image was even on this rock and I don't think anyone else in my family did either. I've also added a picture of a pendant that was found on the same farm. I was looking closley at it one day and noticed that there was a dog or wolf carved on it. I then thought I should check out the other rocks I had that were made out of the same material and that's when I ran across it. The dog is not very noticable on the pendant until you hold it at a certain angle and I had it for a while before I caught it.

Mickey: I tried drawing over the images. I'm not sure if I got all the markings and some of the ones I did mark could be accidental scratches. There is nothing on the back

Thanks
