Might I humbly suggest this new thread, as Victoria looms large before us..?
GREAT images guys. I was out last night and have only just got online, to find Victoria opening up ahead of us... what a fantastic time! -------------------- |

This pic just made me realize something... here we are on the Victoria annulus, and look at all the blueberries. Does that mean the apron and Victoria also were at the bottom of the sea that created the evaporate? I didn't think blueberries were that easily transported by wind... let alone be so evenly and thickly distributed as out on the duned plains. I guess I always thought Victoria was formed after the sea, otherwise, wouldn't it have been sedimented and filled in.
