Natural Scrimshaw

I was wandering around down near a watercourse in Medford, NJ over my lunch break and taking some photos.  One of the downed limbs had a lot of moss and lichen clinging to it so I went over to take a closer look.   In addition to the growth, the branch had a lot of very cool insect chewlines.  (I may have just made up the word ‘chewlines’. )  You can see it more of that branch below, but it reminded me of scrimshaw I have seen in museums from coastal New England.
