....most likely either a mammoth or mastodon, or less likely a giant sloth. Mastodon, most likely................

Hah! I was just about to post that the basic outline of the mammoth looks a heck of a lot more realistic than most of the cave art I’ve seen.

Badge,
Why did I immediately think of Jimmy Durante when I read the word “proboscidean?”
Very interesting find!
To: Red Badger
Little known is that The Order Of Animals With Trunks (Proboscideans) was the Carthaginian group upon which the Knights Templar was based. Or so I’ve heard.

The guy doing the engraving was probably Clovis ~ which means he had European ancestors who lived in the Western European refugia. They had a thriving art culture.

Looks more like a Cthulu monster than a mammoth.

13,000 PLUS ~ one bunch of illegals up on Oregon are known only by a copralite they left behind ~ as usual ~ in an otherwise beautiful cave!
