MAYAN ECCENTRICS This picture compares the original crocodile canoe eccentric located above to the one below that was made by Dan Theus. One addition on the copy is the use of white-out to color the area around the eye which is natural to the stone on the original. Another difference is the size. Dan's replica measures 11 3/4 inches (29.8 cm) long, 5 inches (12.7 cm) wide and 9/16 inch (1.4 cm) thick. The original artifact at top measures 16 3/16 inches (41.1 cm) long, 9 3/4 inches (24.7 cm) wide and 1 1/16 inch (1.7 cm) thick. Both eccentrics were made with good quality cherts that have similar flaking qualities.
