Identify interesting things from Pir Panjal Range

(Updated with info. sent in by Man Mohan Ji)
Man Mohan Ji has sent in this little quiz. Can anyone identify these items?

I am putting in my wild guess.
The first one looks like some sort of territorial insignia and the second one looks like fossilized remains of some animal ( perhaps an elephant, I read that their remains have in fact found in the region)

An archaeological  engraving  about 1 foot in diameter on a Schist rock 
at Anjan, Nanga Pahar at an altitude of 9.000 ft of a southerly spur of
Pir Panjal Range radiating from Muni Mal Peak
Fossil of tusks and mandible of  Stegodon Ganesha – an elephant with
huge tusks  which along with other vertebrate animals roamed the
Himalayan  foothills during Siwalik times.

  1. I think the first picture resembles a 'shri vatsa' or an endless knot. It has religious significance for both Hindus and Buddhists. But,it is a wild guess at best.
