All these pictures were taken through the Intel QX3 Microscope. Getting pictures of these is EXTREMELY difficult and very time consuming.
As you will
see, these drawings are all VERY small. QX3 Microscope
snapshots are approximately 1" X 1". Symbols and glyphs range between 1/32"
and 1".
All the black drawings
are done over areas I can see well enough to draw
and get the basic
shape. Some I can see under a magnifying lamp and at
times I use that method also to help draw these.
I estimate that it would take
100-200 pictures of each rock to get all the pictures and I have approximately
700 rocks.
This green bird is 1/16" wide. This bird can be seen under the magnifying light also. Sorry for being such a lousy artist! Notice the area on top and to the right, of the right wing. There appears to be a face with a hat on. To the left of the bird there appears to be some kind of standing creature also wearing a hat. There also appears to be a pony tail coming down from the hat. I'm running into all kinds of repeated strange things doing this. Doing this is EXTREMELY difficult because one slight movement changes the lighting, which changes the picture. There are SO MANY small pictures and drawings on each rock. Many times these are drawn on top of each other and/or connected. It's almost like 3-D.

This is another view, giving a better view of the right wing.

This view (same area as above) shows many cross markings that are found on all these. Many of these crosses are white, but that is do to the lighting (I think). # 1d is an overlay that I drew for some of the crosses.

This is the original QX3 picture taken off an area of the rock. Tag # 367 ML. (This is another view of rock.) Did auto adjust sharpen +1. Did gamma and contrast adjustments. As you will see, many of the drawings are connected and how one drawing is used to make numerous different pictures. The difference in lighting is what shows the different pictures.

This is a copy of 367QX3birdoriginal-B. I drew an overlay of the areas I could make out clear enough. There are many crosses on this one in black as well as white. There is a mountain lion, a bear and fish on this one. There are lots more drawings but can't make them out, at least on this one. Tag # 367 ML
Another view. Did focus, lighting, contrast and gamma adjustments. Took small amount of red color out. Tag # 367 ML, bird.

Overlay drawn in paint. Shows mountain lion, man, small mountain lion, deer and crosses. Couldn't make out some of the drawings. Didn't put all the crosses in.
This is a real good picture of a bird, with a drawing overlay.
