Something sulcate is marked with long parallel grooves.
That might be a ploughed field:
SA Mathieson / Ploughed field near Kingstanding Farm /
or a column:
or a tortoise shell:
African spurred tortoise, Las Vegas Zoo
Stems are sometimes sulcate, too (look at an old tomato plant stem, for instance).
Or, you never know, perhaps you yourself are pretty groovy...
...well, it's a nicer way of putting it than wrinkly, isn't it.
Spot the Frippet: something sulcate. The Latin word sulcus means a furrow.
