here are a couple of photos of a place I get into.? Do these things represent anything?? Any help would be great? Anybody see anything like this?? It is in an abandoned mine in Mexico.? These are both a couple of hundred feet down.? The black marks are under the scratched in arrow which I think is very recent.? The miners used / and still use a rock which they called carburo and it was mixed with a little water which then put off some kind of gas that is flamable.? Other marks of the same color date it at 1920 but I know from locals that the mine is 200+ years old and not the oldest around here by any means.? Thanks again.

These marks look like survey points.

Try to find the name of the cave and check with a local caving club as they might have the entire
map of the cave for you to look at.

Cave surveying is done all the time on known caves.

Just a thought

thanks all for the advice.? I went to the university and it was VERY INTERESTING.? The first symbol might be a symbol for power according to the info there.? Dinky is prob right too with the triangular shape in the second photo.? I'll look for a caving club here in Chihuahua but I doubt one exists.? I have an old miner friend that I can show it to.? He may know too.? He used to work at the old Santo Domingo mine here as a driller until a chunk of rock fell and messed up his shoulder.? Now he runs THE rock shop in Santa Eulalia, small mountain mining town.?
Thanks too Dinky :D

Hey TEX--- Before you go to any club, I'd take pictures of the walls of the cave. I have marked the areas of interest in photo. I lighted it up, the other is too dark.
I have found sign on the ground as well as walls and rocks.

These pictures only prove I am going crazy, but won't hurt to take more pictures before you let any one know.
