Your interpretation seems to be very creative. Can you post a picture of this rock without the annotation so that we can judge for ourselves?

Thank You Nick, I totally agree however, I want to provide a few Cup & Ring

Stone examples first before I send the, With and Without Graphics.

That way a fairer judgement can be made, I'll send it in Part 4, Part 3 is next.

I'm obviously being a bit thick this morning, I'm not sure how seeing your interpretation first allows a more impartial judgement.
