Good one.
Since the petroglyphs experts are not able to dive in sea water, the scientists say they are facing trouble showing the exact carvings to the experts.
SEA WATER? What they will melt in it? And furthermore, Lake Michigan is FRESHWATER... how stupid are authors sometimes?
Why would a mastodon have carved a naked woman?
Very talented mastodon!
I don’t know...looks like Hillary in the “doggie” position.....
In a June shipwreck? Someone was transporting it somewhere and their ship sank in June?
So where do they think this boulder came from?
A msstodaon carving? I had no idea they were artistic.
Who Gnu?
After carefully looking at the unvarnished picture at left (without all those foolish red lipstick markings,) I have concluded that I can see a perfect likeness of my grouchy Uncle Charlie complete with Hemingwayesques beard.
That’s fabulous! LOL!
Red... you see Moose... I see Squirrel!
Rocky, watch me... pull a Mastodon out of my hat?
Opps! John McCain... wrong hat!
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!.................
To get to the other side?

“Obviously Paleo-cons.”
Actually, to be more exact, that’s Paleo-mastacons, er, dons....

Gomphotheres are strange prehistoric elephants that resembled a Mastodon but with a set of large lower tusks as well as the upper set of tusks the other elephants have. Their grinding teeth, for example, had many more cusps and more complicated wear patterns than those of mastodons. Gomphotheres belong to the family Gomphotheriidae, a family within the mammal order Proboscidea that have been extinct since the Pleistocene Period. Gomphotheres are regarded as the ancestor to the genus Stegodon as well as mammoths and both the present living species of elephants. Gomphotheres had both upper and lower incisor tusks. They are sometimes nicknamed "shovel tuskers" for this feature. Unlike the compact and high domed skull of the mammoths, the skull of gomphotheres was elongate and low. They seemed well-adapted for a life in lakes and swamps where they used their tusks to dig or scrape up the vegetation.
Emerging 55 million years ago, the group of mammals called proboscideans are identified by the presence of tusks and a trunk. They comprise three families: Mammutidae, Gomphotheriidae and Elephantidae. The oldest known proboscideans in North America date back to the Miocene. Cuvieronius, the last genus of New World gomphotheres to become extinct, was widely distributed in North, Central, and South America. All elephant species in these regions became extinct 11,000 years ago.
:’) And without opposable thumbs...
Thanks Fred!
I remember seeing somewhere that an elephant was painting pictures using its trunk and art lovers were lining up to pay for them.
This is proof positive that there is something to the theory of evolution combined with gene memory imprint.
Not the painting elephant—the ‘art’ lovers showing recessive genes leading to terminal dumbass condition.
