Abstract
⺠Grooves from martian ejecta require implausible flight formation precision. ⺠Ejecta flight times would vary, yet evidence of varying dispersion is not observed. ⺠Millions of identical ejecta blocks must be produced, and all other ejecta excluded. ⺠Mercury and the Moon manifest no Phobos-like grooves in character, density or scale. ⺠The secondary impact flux from Mars is severely insufficient to produce the grooves.
