Very Old Rock Art Blogging

In light of Steve’s post on Pleistocene Park and his suggestion that it start in Utah, I wanted to share this petroglyph of a mammoth from….Utah. This is the only North American rock art that I am familiar with that depicts extinct megafauna. The rock face where this image lies is in the Moab area.

I wish I had taken this picture myself, but I borrowed it from Ian Lange’s Ice Age Mammals of North America a well-illustrated and informative book for the general reader.
