A perfect Axe - portable rock art - Dinosaur  Empty A perfect Axe - portable rock art - Dinosaur

This axe has quite a few glyphs, A cappybara head? that south American giant guini pig thing, a whole parrot description (2nd  pic) elephant front half (not shown) a whole seal, ( blue white top of second pic) and a dinosaur head (2nd pic) plus more in this stunning portable rock art flint tool. Does anyone have any idea what dinosaur that looks like?

Hi Brett am having problems posting on this, am using a mobile version and it is tiny which symbol is for adding a Photo ? I looked at this rock for your dino , you know how bad my eyes are, is it at the bottom , with wide mouth and kind of cartoon generic freindly dino look ? What I did see in that pic (upside down) is a very good parrot type bird with crest in the center that's a 1st for me. Also the right side has the slug or mollusc foot shape with depression I have seen a few times. As ever with these the art is anomorphic and deliberately ambiguous , designed to stimulate imagination , like the early saxon "animal salad" style on metalwork.

Hi Colin, thanks for looking, the dino is just the head and is 3/4 view composing the whole stone. I have seen it somewhere, but a quick look has proved fruitless so far, I believe it be a pretty accurate description. I have marked the eye feature, nostril and beak? the nostril is also the eye of the parrot, and the the beak is ..... the beak.

As for posting images, you have two options, underlined in red in the picture below, the first one which i assume you wish to use is host an image on the server, the other is for using an image that is already on a web page somewhere.

A lot of the dinosaurs look the same, probably the Profs just wanting to classify any find as something new so that they get to name it. Anyway here is a list of lookalikes that match pretty well:
Valdosaurus.
Iguanadon.
Hadrasourus.
Sinosauopteryx.
Struthiomimus.
Therizinosaurus.
Gallimimus.

A friend of mine who works at a Museum immediately said Hadrasourus when seeing the image in the axe, I'm guessing female or youngster as the adults have head shapes like in two of these below, which incidentally also look rather like half's of Plesiosaurs's and mammoth heads. Typical for prehistoric peoples to make there figure stones so talkative and ambiguous......

I have decided on Orca for the interpretation of  marine mammal shape shown on top of the axe, the coloration is quite a good match ( the lighter patches are a good match for the white patches that killer whales have)

As a follow up to the TED talk video posted earlier in this thread, new research seems to agree with Jack Horner, not so many dinosaurs after all. https://phys.org/news/2019-11-dinosaur-skull-paleontology-assumptions.html
