PANTHER CAVE, TEXAS.
This wonderful video came to us from the excellent programs and people of Shumla Archaeological Research and Education Center in Texas.
Panter Cave lies in the limestone cliffs above the Rio Grande river in Seminole Canyon State Park in the Amistad National Recreation Area. The site is accessible only by boat and no boat could be arranged during a field trip I was on in that area in 2004 so this is by far the best view I have ever had of Panther Cave.
The 3-D view in this video was created by Mark Willis using Structure from Motion photogrammetry and can be seen with more information on it on the SHUMLA YouTube page at (click on the link below)

This site is accessible only by boat, and co-managed by Seminole Canyon State Park and Amistad National Recreation Area. This site is endangered by flooding related to the construction of Amistad Reservoir.
The 3D modelling was part of a 3 year rock art documentation project conducted by SHUMLA Archeological Research and Education Center, Amistad National Recreation Area, Seminole Canyon State Park, and Geo-Marine Inc. to digitally preserve the site for future generations.
Thank you Mark Willis, SHUMLA, Amistad National Recreation Area, Seminole Canyon State Park, and Geo-Marine, Inc., for making this wonderful video and putting it out there where we can all see it!
