The Mystery of the Cart Ruts
Michael Bucci, a mechanical engineer who measured cart ruts worldwide, and Chuck Kazina, a geologist who weighs natural versus human causes. They probe puzzling deep grooves in bedrock from Malta to Texas. Discussions cover measurement comparisons, thermal/pozzolanic and volcanic-melt formation ideas, basalt vs limestone behavior, turning geometry, and tests like luminescence to constrain heating histories.
