very interesting. would like to see more pictures. try highlighting the engraving with white chalk or white colored pencil to make it easier to see. is there anything on the back? thanks.
 

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.

That's sweet, my buddy has one of a turtle from this side of the river.
 

Very interesting find. Tell us the story of how you found it?
 

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

There's an "M" incised on the holed piece -- like the "M"s on the bone items have.

(?)
 

It's on the other side. The one you have the doodled-up "X" and "O" highlighted in white. Off to the left.
