This unusual rock belongs to a group of seven petroglyphs and it has been spotted since 2006. It is located to the North of spiral shaped petroglyph No 4.
I don't know its use but I found similar ones at the: www.equinox-project.com . At this area the "calculation Grids" are again among spiral shaped petroglyphs. At this site you can find also the article "an analysis of the Inyo Equinox display" by Roderic L. Schmidt.
