The most common class of Falling Rocksigns in Greece seems to be endemic to that country and its many isles. It is a rather peculiar road sign. The bottom two thirds of the wall are hollow with a protrusion at the center. Above this concavity the cliff features a weird knob which at a shorter distance has a breastlike appearance.

The number of boulders is five: one above the knob and the rest below. The shape and the position of the stones is only loosely defined.
The find from Delfi is enhanced with a supplementary rock at the bottom. It's one of those very rare designs where the impact is shown (We have another example from Pakistan).
Hosios Loukas, V.2008; pict. H. De Meyer The second class means bad news. It's a copy of a design already found in Iceland in the year 2001. And we all know how it goes with the introduction of aliens. Endemics goodbye.
