A little west of the mound mentioned in the previous post is another of about equal elevation. Where it not for the forest growth I believe the two locations would be easily visible one from the other. There are other enormous boulders of interest at this site, but heavily covered with moss, lichens and blow-downs. In relation, the one pictured below is much smaller. It initially attracted my attention because of the thick veins of quartz running through it which are partially visible at the split in it at the right and in the lower third. I took several pictures but noticed nothing else unusual about it at the time. Only when I began studying the photographs did I take note of what appeared to be the facial characteristics.

Possible Effigy Head in Stone

The stone pictured above appears to have reptilian characteristics (turtle or snake, both key figures in Algonquin cosmogony). It has a natural taper off to the right as if it were emerging from the earth. It is 'looking' to the east. Of its natural form, the 'eyes' are perhaps the result of volcanic concretion or erosion, or perhaps enhanced by the former inhabitants of the area. I admittedly need to brush up on my geology. I will say I have found two other similar boulders with this type of 'sculpted eye' for lack of a better term. One is picutred in a previous post, the other I've yet to publish. All comments welcome on this one...especially from geologists.
