what is it?

Eric Krewson:
My girlfriend found this in a creek far from any human traffic. It has been shaped and appears to have a petroglyph of an animal of sorts with antlers on the back with a possible hunter standing behind the animal.

I collected artifacts for years and have never seen anything like it in any of my travels or reference material.

Any guesses?

Eric Krewson:
Here are the figures outlined

Looks like a guy standing too close to a moose fart and got knocked back...

Russ:
The pic on the right looks faded enough to be a person throwing a atlatl or spear. Mabey redraw it following the faded lines. How about you knap it and see what it could be! )P(

Hawkdancer:
I think the petroglyphs rule out any kind of working stone.  Perhaps a commenter active to celebrate a first kill!  Neat find in any case!
