Times of origin and meaning
of these giant figures, the largest of which is 167 feet
long and the smallest 95 feet, remain a mystery. There
are three figures, two of animals and one of a coiled
serpent, and some interesting lines. (Sandstone pebbles
glazed on one side with 'desert varnish,' strewn over
the surface of the mesa, have been moved away, leaving
the earth forming the figures, the pebbles were placed
in windrows about the edge as an outline.)
