Mammals in Petroglyphs of the Mascota Valley, Mexico
The Mascota Valley is a region in central-western Mexico where 4,042 individual petroglyphs have been registered, of which approximately 305 have been generically named "animals". The glyphs date from 1 to 1,160 AD. Thirty-eight zoomorphic petroglyphs were selected to, based on their morph...
