Stonehenge's Stone 59A and Yangshan in China have marks that only look like scoop marks. Yangshan shows crude chisel and pickaxe marks. Stonehenge's curved markings appear on only one side—likely eroded dressing marks. Researchers call these 'lookalikes' with significant differences from true scoop marks.
