A few Curious Glyphs

[Swimswithtrout]

I've finally finished sifting through all of my photos from last Thanksgiving weeks trip and have several questions

Are these arrows or atlatls ? They're ~ 3-4' long and almost the highest glyphs at a well known roadside panel.

Wider view, with a Bighorn Kokopelli playing to the higher glyphs.

At the same location is this glyph, nearly at ground level that appears to depict a pregnant women.

And further to the east, nearly hidden behind the large boulder is this strange looking glyph. I stumbled across a blog that says this is a depiction of the Hopi "Spider Woman", though I think it's a scorpion. What do you think ?
Also, what are the apparent birdlike zoomorphs that appear to be feeding on the ground ?

Lastly, this one has become one of my favorites.

Shortly after I posted this thread, I noticed a very faint, large snake in the last panel, rising above the rump of one of the Bighorns.. Here it is in B&W after some extreme contrast enhancements.

I also wonder what these are; a long row of shield pictographs ? Each are 2-3' in diameter.

I also forgot to include this one as well. It's considerably faded and is ~ 20-30' east of "Intestine Man". My wife spotted it first.

This is a dstretch enhancement that I don't think looks nearly as garish as some. Color, then the B&W

Just to add to this thread. I found this marking on a rock just off of Kane Creek Road close to the Birthing Scene rock. Not sure what it is, or if it is current, or ancient. Or anything....

It looks like some hippie art to me. Lots of that sort of stuff around Moab.

Gotcha. Thanks!

Though that petroglyph is modern, the symbol is very ancient. It is the Vedic Sanskrit symbol for 'Om' (God). It has been around for over 4,000 years.....
