The Backbone Panel, Emery County, Utah 7
This is a very strange panel of prehistoric pictographs. All the images are quite small at 8 to 15 centimeters tall. There is an amazing amount of detail in some of them. According to what I understand the motifs are very different from anything else in Utah or possibly the country. Several of the images can be interpreted as having heads with open mouths and large teeth displayed. One might even believe they resemble a snarling dinosaur (personal conjecture). I think the general feeling is they are extremely old (Possibly the oldest art in the region). It is interesting that this art is located in a shelter with a fossil array that has been identified as the back region of an Ankylosaur. This apparently dates the rock unit as Cretaceous.
