I couldn't find a published source documenting the size of the petroglyph figures so that information was not included in the article. However, the largest image (the "spirit figure") is ~20-22" high; the human figure at bottom right of center is ~12-14" high; and the remaining figures range from ~6-8" to ~14-16 (measuring their longest dimension...length in the case of the most of the animal figures). These are approximate sizes, using photos with person in the foreground to estimate size of the carvings.--Orygun (talk) 22:51, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
