the old drake quation she aint what she used to be...

Immediately my mind thinks...these are pavers for beings WAY bigger than us. Thoughts?

so remember were dealing with oceans of both water and time,
thousands of square miles of water are being deposited with atmospheric dust which falls into basically uniform layers

its inevitable they will reach homonymity and thus for miles on end have the same constituency and thus breaking points.
their fracture eons later in such regularity its no suprise that given platal uplift they fracture in such regular manner.

[Butcher Bob]

Eh, I don't know if I'd buy that. Salt flats and mud flats do not crack in any kind of symmetry when they dry...it's always very random for the vertical cracks , even though the thickness to the horizontal separation below is often uniform.

awesome watch

that answer is in the soil huh

[ben ttech]

dont forget it could be metamorphic rock. sandstone that was latter subjected to intense pressure.

[Butcher Bob]

Yes, but wouldn't that pressure be on a horizontal plane?...like the weight of a body of water above it. Most sandstone I've seen only has at best a single plane of striation...like slate. I've never seen it have striations on three opposing planes, like salt. Just appears more intentional to me.

A baby mammoth has just been discovered by a Yukon gold miner. It is more than 30000 years old! Preserved by permafrost ice.

pressure produces crystaline changes
the effect of witch is not limited to the plane of force wherein the pressure is exerted

Sandals of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. They were found in almost perfect condition in the pharaoh's tomb.
