This rock, which we use as a doorstop, is a piece of Monterey shale, of early Miocene age, which we picked up on this beachwalk in 2003. Fossils abound in this vintage of rock, which comprises the sea cliffs at Leadbetter Beach, around the point west of the harbor in Santa Barbara. The oddest thing about these fossil clams is that they're not mineralized. They are the actual shells of actual clams* that died in the mud that became this rock, around 20 million years ago. Their soft tissues are now providing the oil extracted both onshore and offshore up and down the South Coast of California. [* Or maybe not. Since I first wrote this I have heard subsequently that what we're seeing here are boring clams — that is, clams that bore their ways into solid rock. In other words, two different geologists, two different stories. I believe the latter, however. (Still, the rock is of Miocene provenance.]

Pleistocene cave drawing, from Les Combarelles, of the extinct European Wild Horse, Equus ferus ferus, from Sollas W.J. 1915 ANCIENT HUNTERS And their Modern Representatives Macmillan and Co. London.
It always strikes me, how good, how realistic, animated, paleolithic art is. I mean the Egyptians, built pyramids, but they couldn't draw for toffee!
I get the feeling this horse is standing, perhaps sleeping, with its back to the wind, and that the artist, is telling you to sneak up on him from the side or front? The horse is looking at you, and his ears are pricked?
There is a good article on the wild horse here with a reconstruction image:
www.theextinctions.com/articles-1/5wa1nzaq7zveeuawomiqu2n...
As for the other 'symbols' in the image see this theory:
studyfinds.org/markings-cave-paintings-decoded/
Some of the marks, look like: how to cut it up, or butcher, the animal?
