I just peeked. That's cool. I was wrong, but it's neat to see similar patterns in nature be developed independently to do basically the same thing.

I was never going to get that.

Gravdigr · 12-26-2018, 02:22 PM

I probably zoomed in too far for a good look.

Needing the animal, not the type, like Oh, that's a mammal., or, It's a deer., yeah no, that ain't gonna cut it.

I'll post the answer, before I leave for the bar today.

Gravdigr · 12-26-2018, 02:25 PM

And, yes, li'l bit is too cute to eat.

Yet.

White Tailed Deer?

It's years since I've seen them in the flesh so I'm probably wrong.

Clodfobble · 12-26-2018, 06:16 PM

Female and baby reindeer?

xoxoxoBruce · 12-26-2018, 11:42 PM

Porcupines.

Them ain't no 'Merican Deer.

beauregaardhooligan · 12-27-2018, 07:56 AM

Gravdigr · 12-27-2018, 09:41 PM

This could go either way, what to you think this is? OK, actually what these are?

At the peak of the industrial revolution, NYC was being built in no small part out of granite that was brought down from the coast of Maine on ships. The water was fairly deep along the rocky coast of Maine, so the ships would get right up close to the rock outcroppings, and load up. There are still rusty iron rings and spikes driven into the rock that the ships would tie off to, and notches like these, carved into the granite to anchor temporary peirs and gangways in place.

Griff · 01-17-2019, 06:39 AM

no shit

glatt · 01-17-2019, 06:47 AM

Well it's all true, but that might not be what this picture shows. This rock isn't all covered in seaweed.

Griff · 01-17-2019, 06:48 AM

Still, cool insight.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-17-2019, 07:35 AM

It's rock, but far from Maine and much older than NY.
What are they, what are they used for, how are they used.
