While focusing on Home Plate, I checked out the "Where are the rovers now" page yesterday on the JPL rover site. If you look closely to the attached file, the issued picture quote xxxxNew MexicoXXXX on the back and to the right of the picture. Very close and on top of where "New Mexico" is written there is a place (approx 5-600 m to the east of HP), that remind me a picture from the Huygens probe on Titan. It's a kind of a small "river delta". My best guess for sure is that it has been done by dust devil, but why dust devils will unit this way? It doesn't make sense to me. Did somebody ever sew this ? (use 204kB definition to see it).

The linear features are apparent in a lot of shots from when Spirit was parked on the summit of Husband Hill.
They are located upslope and look like a heavily eroded spot or maybe rolling boulders have something to do with it. see http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...03P2261R2M1.JPG Nico
