Descriptions and remarks

Diagnosis.—Shallow to moderately deep, meandering trail of generally straight overlapping thick grooves excavated into the cortical bone surfaces. Grooves are randomly orientated, often overlapping other grooves which are either perpendicular or parallel to one another. The intensity of the grooves culminates in an irregular furrow-like morphology for the trail.
