Your wrong.
Why is there no credible links of these discoveries? Only ancient alien 2012 sites.

I don’t believe that 'Mayan style of art' is a method to debunk this.

Although an interesting find, i'm leading towards fakes, otherwise these things would be all over the news.

Actually, it is. Just like Japanese comic books favor a "manga" style and American comic books favor a "superhero style" there are styles of art for every culture and every century. You get the occasional oddball, but there's a lot of conformity because that's the style everyone wants.
A number of those are clearly frauds. The genuine ones have been enhanced (sometimes by adding color or extra lines) and shown out of context. This is reminsicent of the Ica Stones and other frauds, where some goombah tourist shows up and sees a carving and says "Ooooh! That looks like a dinosaur!" and pays $30 for the thing (a lot of money.) Soon, everyone who can scratch something into pottery or bone shows up with an "ancient Mayan dinosaur" for the tourists.
Even if the Mayans didn't live in the area.
