Some incredible images of fine layering in the rocks here, signs off cross bedding too?

Those are definitely cross beds, although on a very fine scale. It's curious, it almost looks as if it's indicating current flow in two different directions. (Some beds appear to dip in one directon and others seem to dip in the opposite direction.)
Does it look that way to anyone else? |
