Petroglyphs question

In my research I ran across a photograph of a boulder, about 1-1.5m tall, sitting out in a grassy area with a hand carved into it complete with recognizable glyphs. Whorls etc. Very similar to the tracing done of a petroglyph in Nova Scotia. It is the one on Richard Unger's site here (first pic) Dermatoglyphics Early History

For the life of me I cannot find it again. Is anyone familiar with such a photograph?

I want to do a stylized version of the hand which is on that boulder using oil paint on canvas.

Thanks!

only found the tracings of hand petroglyphs, not what you are asking about.

(edit, checked the book....sorry no luck there)

Thanks Lynn... I have seen those as well. I wonder why there is no photograph of the rock that Nova Scotia tracing came from?

PS off topic... I recall a post you made where you mentioned a psychic octopus or some such thing? What is that? One of those crazy Brit cartoons like Boffo the Bear or Postman Pat? Smile

And... I cannot find that post again now that I look for it. Does the Search function for the forum only search Post Titles?

oh you never heard about Paul the psychic octopus!?! He lived in Germany & predicted football match results during the world cup last year. I think the main discussion was on the old forum, (maybe I posted here the sad news that the octopus died not long after the wold cup finished.) Here's a clip of Psychic Paul in action!

re Does the Search function for the forum only search Post Titles?
Under the search box is 'advanced search' you can click to search topics or posts. But I'm not having much success with the search function recently, keeps turning up zero results. I was wondering the same - is it only searching titles.

(sorry we've gone off topic, but at least it's your own topic!)

(edit - PS just checked - yes search looks for 'post subject' or 'topic title' Neutral

)
