Re: 1.5 BILLION Year Old Raindrop Impressions

[philidor11@snet.net]

This one is good, too:

<These craters are circular or elliptical in shape suggesting 
that the rain drops fell vertically or at an angle.>

Safe conclusion.  What's left?
Even 1.6 billion years ago rain did not fall up.
And the horizontal rains left no tracks.
(Think this actually means that the rain must have fallen both 
vertically and at an angle to produce the 2 kinds of spatter 
patterns.)

Your example also might have an explanation:

<...preservation of the rain craters suggests that ancient rainfall 
was 
infrequent.>

Assuming that the imprints must have sat around undisturbed for 
a long time.  However, the ground might have hardened and covered 
rapidly.  Why not?
