[QUOTE="madhatte, post: 5745871, member: 36455"] Horizontal marks may well be beetles. The bark was torn off vertically. The shreds on the far left are the best indication. As far up and down the stem as this is, I'd guess a bear, likely scraping bark off to get at the beetle grubs below. The claw marks aren't deep at all which suggests that the bark was already loose on the bole, a guess which is supported by the visible mycelial matting where the cambium ought to be. [/QUOTE]
