“…The remainder of the new imagery derive from sites selected to explore the different falsification tests, particularly the need to analyze samples from the different environmental settings where rock varnish is known to occur (see Supplemental File 1). Each of the references linked to these sites provides details about the following sampling sites: the Sonoran Desert (Dorn, 2023), Hanaupah Canyon alluvial fan in Death Valley (Hooke and Dorn, 1992), from a Nazca Peru pukio (underground wet canal) ceiling (Clarkson and Dorn, 1991), from a morainal boulder on a Greenland outlet glacier, from the Gokyo Valley in the Khumbu region of Nepal, and from a granitic rock fracture 6 m deep from a road cut in central Arizona (Dorn and Whitley, 2023).…”
