I know this sounds almost conspiracy theory-ish: just looking at the picture, my first guess is man-made. But I'm almost always wrong.

It just looks really perfectly spaced and each one is the same, in a very mechanical way. With all the talk of snooping on undersea data cables, undersea drones, and the continuance of submarine warfare, it seems possible that this is some kind of undisclosed military drone on either side looking for cables?

At 2,5 kilometres or 1,6 miles? Only way that is true is if some cage with points sticking out fell from a ship? Or perhaps wood, that has been rotting away since. -Edit: That also doesn't explain the multiple tracks and that they are not really aligned. Only saw the 2 pictures, but in the video you can see a lot of other "tracks".

Given that they said it also appears in the fossil record I think we can rule out human-made.
