The influence of fossil footprints on rock art
•
2 likes•2,458 views
Native Americans noticed fossil tracks in their environment and had explanations for them involving mythological creatures. Examples show pictographs and petroglyphs that seem to reproduce fossil tracks, proving they had observed them. At Cub Creek in Dinosaur National Monument, a panel of large lizard petroglyphs is located near a fossil track site. The petroglyphs are proportioned to represent creatures around 30 feet long, correlating with the size of dinosaurs that left tracks at the nearby site. This suggests the giant lizards depicted were inspired by observing fossil tracks in the area.

Native american paleontology
Native American peoples recognized fossilized remains as bones of ancient animals, and developed spiritual and cultural beliefs and practices related to these fossils. They imagined the fossils as remains of gigantic monsters and serpents that lived underground or in water. Different tribes depicted these mythological underwater monsters in various forms in their art, ceremonies, and artifacts.

Logan Butte in central Oregon contains 800 acres that provide a unique window into 40 million years of history through its continuous fossil record preserved in volcanic ash layers. The area is highly valued by paleontologists for revealing how plant and animal life evolved over millions of years in response to climate change. Though challenging to access, the site has produced many new species discoveries and offers insights not found elsewhere into diversity in Oregon's ancient landscapes. As a protected area managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Logan Butte helps scientists understand the world's natural history through its public fossils.
Beringia ii
The document summarizes information about Paleoindians, the first humans to arrive in North America. It discusses that Paleoindians crossed the Bering land bridge from Siberia to Alaska around 40,000 years ago. They hunted large animals like horses and bison for food. Around 11,700 years ago, the end of the last ice age caused many animal species to go extinct, creating food problems for Paleoindians. Excavations at sites like the La Brea Tar Pits since the early 1900s have provided information about Paleoindian life through fossils recovered from the tar deposits.

Depictions of halley's comet in native american rock art
This document discusses depictions of Halley's Comet in Native American rock art from the southwestern United States. It describes how ancestral Pueblo peoples who lived in New Mexico between the 13th and 15th centuries likely witnessed the appearances of Halley's Comet in 1066, 1301, and 1456. Their rock art features symbols that evolved from simple stars and birds into anthropomorphized figures wearing star headdresses, reflecting their observations and interpretations of the comet. This suggests Halley's Comet was an important astronomical phenomenon in their culture that influenced their artistic traditions.

The influence of fossil footprints on rock art
- 1. THE INFLUENCE OF FOSSIL FOOTPRINTS ON ROCK ART © Peter Faris, 2008
- 2. Dinosaur Ridge, west of Denver, CO.
- 3. Dinosaur Ridge, west of Denver, CO. For Native American peoples who depended on hunting, attention to animal tracks could mean the difference between life and death. They would have invariably seen fossil trackways in their environment and must have had explanations for this phenomenon.
- 4. Shay Canyon, Indian Creek, UT.
- 7. Potash Road trackway, Moab, UT.
- 8. Potash Road trackway, Moab, UT. Their explanations for these tracks often involved beliefs in great mythological creatures. A Navajo name for such fossil tracks is Naasho’illbahitsho Biikee’ (big lizard tracks).
- 9. Examples of images seemingly reproducing fossil tracks as pictographs and petroglyphs have been found, proving that they had noticed them.
- 10. Chirotherium track, Joseph City, NM. Mayor and Serjeant, 2001.
- 11. This petroglyph is located only a few feet from the Chirotherium track. Mayor and Serjeant, 2001.
- 12. Joseph City, NM. Mayor and Serjeant, 2001.
- 13. Another site of fossilized dinosaur tracks is found at Flag Point, in the Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument, UT.
- 14. Near the tracksite a pictograph panel appears to accurately reproduce one of the three-toed dinosaur tracks.
- 15. At Cub Creek in Dinosaur National Monument, UT, a panel of large lizard petroglyphs are focusing on a small Fremont style human figure (ca. 1400 to 1000 BP).
- 16. The largest lizard measures approx. 6’ in length. In proportion to the size of the human figure this would represent a creature of about 30’ in length.
- 17. All together there are eight large lizards on, and around, the main panel. Clearly gigantic lizards were highly significant at Cub Creek.
- 18. Over 100 fossil track sites have been recorded in and around Dinosaur National Monument. One, the Cub Creek trackway is located a couple of miles upstream from the petroglyph panel. Photo: 2005, John Meyer, BLM, Vernal, UT.
- 19. This site has tracks of over 50 individual vertebrates (Martin Lockley, 1995). Photo: John Meyer, BLM, Vernal, UT, 2005.
- 20. John Meyer, BLM, Vernal, UT, 2005
- 21. Photo: 2005, John Meyer, BLM, Vernal, UT. Therapod track at the Cub Creek track site.
- 22. Tracks at the Cub Creek track site. Photo: 2005, John Meyer, BLM, Vernal, UT.
- 23. Lizard track, Lobo Valley, TX.
- 24. Cub Creek petroglyph site, Dinosaur National Monument, UT. I believe it is possible that the giant lizards at Cub Creek were inspired by the “giant lizard tracks”nearby.
