Default Are this relics

i took some pics in Mexico of some funky looking rocks. the first pis is of a rock with some groves on it and its not buy a river, is it natural? the 2 and 3 pic is of a, i think (big foot print) on a huge rock that's 10ton on top of a small mountain, could it be some kind of water catcher? and the 4 pic is a rock i found , is it a tool?

Hey Garza, I don't really know anything about them, but they don't look natural to me. I hope someone on here knows, I'm curious too.

Hey Garza - are those letters or numerals carved into the "footprint" in the second picture? It looks like "N V I I"...to me...

Garza, I would agree with Alan and say that they look natural also..I have seen where water has hit rocks and left impressions like your water catcher...still pretty cool....Buster....

Hey Garza I like the footprint? It may just be rain erosion, but I like it. I do think the item in your hand could be a tool. Very cool pictures and formations, Beale.

Looks like mother natures work to me. The rock in the last two photos looks more like a geofact than an artifact.

First pick is Big Foot's track, The second is his tooth pick. Just my opinion.

At first, I thought the grooves in the first pic were natural but then I noted the triangular shapes that are symetrical and recessed. I think they were carved.

If there were more similar indentations to pictures 2 & 3 leading away from the area, that would be interesting. The third item looks likie a possible relic. If my theory about pic 1 is correct and this was in the same area, I would say it is a relic.
