1/9 A hiker trekking through the Italian Alps. He is looking for deer through his camera lens when he spots something unsettling: rhythmic pockmarks on a massive vertical wall 2,800m high. It looks like a giant used the cliff as a dartboard. https://t.co/4S8ghmQMe6

8/9 This is visible globally, from the Alps to Bolivia's wall of 12,000 tracks. A cliff is often just a floor that got tired of being stepped on. Next time you hike, look closely—you might be seeing a "fossilized afternoon" from the Triassic.
