@EscapeFromBriarwoodHospital Interesting, do you recall what kind of other patterns were, or what film stocks they happened in? Could maybe be something like reticulation which happens during developing, but slower process..
I have seen quite a lot of intentional/non-intentional degradation on experimental films but nothing like this before

@nosfe All sorts of patterns. Usually the emulsion would crack inward from the edge of the film. I remember seeing it a lot on super8 and 8mm, since that was what we mostly transferred. We didn't get much 16mm to transfer. At an internship at a film archive, I didn't see degradation of this type on any 16mm, since it was stored properly. Vinegar syndrome was the most common problem. When we would see stuff like this, it would be time to either transfer it to video or make a new print.
