Snapping Turtle Effigy and a Fallen Boulder

 

Sometime between 1672 and 1740, European tools in the hands of the People Living at Nonnewaug Wigwams constructed this retaining wall, incorporated this Snapping Turtle in Profile Effigy.

Shadows in strong sunlight, when the sun is at its highest, show these tool marks well:


Yesterday, April 11, 2022, I found that some stones, including one medium large one, had fallen out of the retaining wall, and had rolled into the yard:

Could have been the heavy rain on the night before had something to do with it,
May be something else was a factor - freeze and thaw, perhaps.
I don't really know...



I guess that now that it is light enough, I'll take another look,
Try to figure out how to put it back together...
