Rock's and Old Croc's - Prehistoric Artwork

 This prehistoric artwork find from my site here in Southern England can talk the talk. This flint has been modified to show deliberate depictions. Crocodiles were last believed to of lived wild in Britain millions of years ago.

 Above: Feline head profile right, crocodile and wolf  like creature profile left, another example here: Wolf and Horse Portable Rock Art and Flint Tool

  The reverse of the stone also shows another well documented glyph. Run or stand your ground?

 

 A classic glyph shown rightwards, my interpretation is ape or gorilla, although a slight CCW rotation to this glyph may indicate bear or another mammal head profile.

 

 A whale?

Flint hand axe with stunning animal images.

This flint hand axe from my usual hunting grounds shows some very interesting animal depictions. Bear, elephant, feline, ape and hominid like images can be seen. The creature images appear to be of tropical/jungle/savanna species and according to climactic data that would make this one of the worlds oldest pieces of prehistoric art.

Bear and ape head profiles can be seen.

Bear or sloth animated rightwards, classic elephant head profile can also be seen.

This one is a little tricky, monkey and feline like images.

Classic imagery seen in many other figure stones can be seen in this hand axe.

Very complex, relies on the mind being tricked by differing sets of 'eye' pairs.

More evidence of pigment? in petrefied and worked eye shape on stone age flint tool.

 A very clear and detailed eye shape can be seen on this stone age flint tool, the color detail is embedded into the stone as though pigment has become fossilized into the patina or natural inclusions in the flint are being observed. Evidence would lead us to rule out the latter with this flint tool with more obviously artistic pigment usage. Other examples of clear and possibly petrified pigment usage displaying clear and detailed eye shapes can be seen:- Prehistoric clothing and Crocodile rock.

 Above: note the hair line ridges that make good eye lash and eye brow features.

 Above: The curve of the blade, hair line features can be observed, these are often found on my finds and other figure stone finds, and are the result of an unknown technique.

More Dinosaur Rock Art?

When I discovered dinosaur artistic impressions in my flints back in 2011 I was a little shocked and disbelieving, other portable rock art proponents laughed at me, one even claiming I had nothing of archaeological interest! (that person has since copied most of my findings, and refuses me any credit.)

Since those early days I have come to learn that many Americans shared my beliefs, many making there own dinosaur portable rock art discoveries before me.

Above:  A typical elephant and front leg impression can be seen. 

Above: two ape like profiles can be seen, top one facing left and the bottom one right.

Above: A bear face profile facing left?

Above:  Another bear face profile likeness faces right.

Above: A dinosaur head profile faces right? rotate the stone 180 degrees and a very similar impression faces left.

Above: an animation of the stone shown in the above stills.

Above: Another stone find from my site showing a double sided T-Rex head impression likeness. Crystal 'teeth' feature in two places on this stone, one patch right at the front and another patch on one side.
