"... The special injury of the calamitalean described herein [...] exhibits an elongated
to triangular shape, a central furrow, a scar-associated event ring of collapsed to distorted
tracheids, and was ultimately overgrown by callus parenchyma. We suggest that this scar
most likely was caused by a lightning strike ..."
