Close-up of eroded clay surface with parallel striations converging toward a circular depression at the center. Small organic debris inside the hollow. Calanchi di Palizzi, Calabria.
Raking light on a stone surface revealing a carved spiral mark. The incision reads ambiguously between human sign and natural erosion. Calanchi di Palizzi, Calabria.
