[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 7926338, member: 77413"]Sorry to post again, but I missed something. I thought the bright lines were the entire scratches. They aren’t. The scratches are actually wider than I thought, as shown here. [ATTACH=full]1369711[/ATTACH] That affects my conclusions. The light source is from the top right in this rotated photo. The light hits the [B]inside[/B] of the scratches on the side away from the light source. The side of the scratch nearer the light is in shadow, but is also just a little brighter than the fields. I no longer think they are raised. The line that crosses the bright lines (it’s between the pair of lines at the left) now is obviously the same width as the other incuse lines. It seems likely it happened at the same event, with the underneath scratches made first and the darker one a moment later. I think it just looks darker because of the angle of the light source.[/QUOTE]
