I think the top picture is the universal symbol to hurl unlimited amounts of lead projectiles at great speed.

The second picture is a symbol I have not seen before. Would be interested to learn what it means though.

The top pic looks like a "Thunderbird" type of figure, but turned so that the head sits at about 5 o'clock and the feet at 11.

The second drawing reminds me of the ancient drawings of bison or bulls, with large humped.shoulders and long horns and nose. This one looks like part of it has worn away.

Until you pointed out the Thunderbird image, I never saw it and though it was just a big blob of random markings. But I see it now. Below is a rotated picture of it, plus one of a petroglyph from New Mexico. (By the way, a "petroglyph" is the type that is scratched/scraped onto rock. A "pictograph" is the type that is painted onto rock).

Text associated with New Mexico petroglyph ...

Three Rivers Petroglyph site in Central New Mexico. These rock carvings were made over 600 years ago by the Jornada Mogollon prehistoric indian culture. This ridge may have been a lookout point, a sacred site, a stop on a trade route, or a point on a territorial boundary. This tribe has no modern descendants.
