Re: Boat shaped cups

Yes, those are the same ones - not identical but close enough certainly. There's some here too - http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/12900
I have a photograph of actual quarry marks, on a free boulder, that was being broken for wall stone in the Victorian Age. The chisel pits have some rules attached which the 'boat-shaped' cups defy (usually). They're rough-edged, always along the grain of the stone, and irregular. There's a big difference. The chisel pits have a v-shaped profile whereas the cups are parallel sided.
I'll post the picture of real quarrymarks and just leave it up for a couple of days. The cup-marks also submit to Megalithic Inch analysis - those I've found (9 over three stones) are 2MI by 1MI. Nobody'd believe the last bit though.
