minus-squaretelllos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up52arrow-down1·1 year agoI’m also wondering if those are not fake prints. They look pretty deep. I don’t think a cat walking on drying bricks would leave such deep marks. To me they look like easter eggs left by the brick layer.
minus-squareScrof@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up23arrow-down3·edit-21 year agoMaybe they’re deep because of water erosion from rains over a thousand years, those bricks look pretty polished.
minus-squareZaphod@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down1·1 year agoI don’t think the bricks are that old. Maybe a few hundred years or so
minus-squareCitizenKong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·1 year agoAlso, wouldn’t water erosion make them less deep not more, due to generally smoothing the stone?
minus-squareHonoraryMancunian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoMaybe water pools in them long after it dries out on the surrounding brick, but whether still water still erodes stone I don’t know.

The ones from super wet concrete look almost like a duck/goblin footprint, the ones in drier screed look like those tiles, but much less deep.
