The mark of storms looks like a raining cloud, the mark of detection looks like an eye, and the mark of shadows looks like a hydra. Is there any rough guide for the other dragonmarks and what they symbolize?

Is there any rough guide for the other dragonmarks and what they symbolize? I think this is in Dragonmarked; I know it was at some point. For example, you have the Orien Bridge. But I don't have Dragonmarked or the core book on hand in my current location, so I can't check it out. And IIRC, the Mark of Shadow isn't supposed to be a hydra (though that is the sigil of House Phiarlan) - rather it's a twinned dragon, which is to say a dragon and its shadow.
