I going just from memory here. But the cross and triangle symbol was either salt or sulpher...i honestly can't remember which.

I found this when I looked for the symbol for sulpher: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...mbol_2.svg.png

That looks promising!

@kc

thanks. My mobile-ness isn't pic hunting friendly...

the symbols for both salt and sulpher can be found there. As well as the eye of thoth and a few other things..

[Jannit]

Thanks! That's a great picture.

So... it looks like the symbol for salt is on the right side of Ink's nose and sulphur is on his forehead above his left eye. We've also got some repeats of earlier symbols (snake, Eye of Horus, that caterpillar looking thing, the three-lined x-star thingie)...

I don't think I'll be accomplishing much today beyond looking at symbols.

If you figure out the three x line- thing your doing waaaaaaay better than me! That one has my mind blown

Okay, so I just noticed something. There's the 3-lined x things and there are also 4-lined x things. According to a list of alchemical symbols I found, the 4-lined x things represent Salammoniac. According to Wikipedia, Sal Ammoniac (the only thing that came up when I googled it) is:
"It typically forms as encrustations formed by sublimation around volcanic vents. It is found around volcanic fumaroles, guano deposits and burning coal seams. Associated minerals include sodium alum, native sulfur and other fumarole minerals. Notable occurrences include Tajikistan; Mt. Vesuvius, Italy; and Parícutin, Michoacan, Mexico. "

Perhaps this is the stuff, or at least some of the stuff that was surrounding the vents?
