it's a sag line that runs perpendicular to the ribs. usually there's an internal crack that follows that line, creating weak points in the fruit. here's a good example:

Are the dill rings genetic? Are certain seeds prone to rings?

The 582 Hester for a example produces a good many pumpkins with a dill ring.
