Big game, large bird, and canid (dog/wolf/coyote) figures are the most obvious zoomorph petroglyph motifs in the Bighorn and Wind River Basins.

The geographic distribution of these canid motifs appears to be more than coincidental. Examination of known/recorded Wind River and Bighorn Basin canid motif petroglyph...
Latex Molds of Petroglyphs at Legend Rock and Torrey Lake, Wyoming (2015)
In 2015, a document titled BBHC Rock Art Project Phase I: Technicians Report was discovered in the McCracken Research Library at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. This document, never published, describes the making of latex molds at Wyoming petroglyphs sites. In the present article, we identify the individual petroglyphs molded during the project to alert others who might be studying the sites.

And, hopefully with that understanding, a desire to see they are protected from both intentional and unintentional vandalism.
Probable Edible and Medicinal Flora Used by Prehistoric Hunter-Gatherer Groups in the Bighorn and Wind River Basins of North Central Wyoming (2002)

The reason for full listings, rather than the shortened version found in archaeological reports, is to aid the student who would not have access to an extensive bibliography. Although it may appear to be redundant to state much the...
