It looks like the vikings might have stolen some of the ship-building plans from some of these earlier bronze-age people! ;) Do you ever find trilobites just lying around in those tide pools?

Thats not viking ships however. Its like 2000 years older than the viking age ;-) Its a bronze age ships - one of the most common things found on scandinavian rock carvings. The scandinavian bronze age was very rich and has left a lot of traces in nature like carvings and tombs (so called "tumulus" in latin). Compared to the viking age wich hardly left anything at all in comparison. The other things are axes. Bronze axes like these: http://www.orebrolansmuseum.se/e18/bilder/bronsaldersyxa.jpg http://www.geocities.com/stenrose_och_teg/bilder/holkyxa.jpg http://www.museums.norfolk.gov.uk/img/BR00094.jpg Silver Fox: Thanks for the comment!

Our Cambrian quartzite doesn't have any neat viking ships carved on them. At least that's what that looks like to me. What are those other carvings that look like upright sickles or tall horns?
