Panther Cave (41VV0083) Pictographs - 3D Modeling

The Panther Cave Pictograph 3D Modeling Project is a great example of the collaborative work Shumla conducts as part of our ongoing conservation and education efforts in the Lower Pecos River basin. This 3D model was part of a documentation project with our partners to digitally preserve the site for future generations.

Panther Cave, named after the giant Pecos River style panther pictograph at the far end of the site, contains a wide range of different rock art styles including Pecos River style, Red Linear style, and several unidentified pictograph styles. The site is situated in Seminole Canyon State Park & Historic Site and jointly managed with the National Park Service. Unfortunately, Panther Cave is endangered by periodic flooding and is accessible only by boat.

Shumla recently produced a new 3D model of Panther Cave as a part of the baseline Alexandria Project. Check it out at our SketchFab account at the link below!
