[attachment=3535:attachment] (138k) But what about these ones? It looks like the smallest touch could broke them. [attachment=3536:attachment] (138k) PS: It's time to open a new thread, don't you think so? Good idea. That topic was "tired" and had the cord showing. Delicate, to be sure. One thing I've noticed is that the "ledge-forming" rocks are a layer and extend to the right and left of where we camped out. I wonder if that feature is related to the bluff at Mogollon Rim? We need to check out the "mobile dust" at that site and see if there has been more movement during the stopover. --Bill -------------------- Dawn-- Ceres Pluto Encounter Rosetta Mission

I realize there are several explanations for this, one of which that I am imagining it all, or it could just be an effect from driving disturbing the soil, and I don't even know if this would map to the right wind direction. It might be evidence of some movement by wind, nonetheless. EDIT - Original pic here. -------------------- Lyford Rome "Zis is not nuts, zis is super-nuts!"

AFAIK, the prevailing wind direction seems to be coming more or less from the right, so it is possible. It could be that soil has been displaced, let's look at earlier and other images of that spot. --Bill -------------------- Dawn-- Ceres Pluto Encounter Rosetta Mission

I think we were warned that they were going to look over this exposure in detail. I am really anxious to get to Mogollon, but it would be pretty nice to get a big MI mosaic of that nifty stuff over Lower Overgaard. -------------------- ...Tom I'm not a Space Fan, I'm a Space Exploration Enthusiast.

Me too, this is a good opportunity to study x-bedding. We'll just have to sit here and fidget... --Bill -------------------- Dawn-- Ceres Pluto Encounter Rosetta Mission

After spending (wasting? ) a week MIing a slab without obvious festoon bedding, they have yet to map the slab that does have it (maybe). Anyway, they're still having trouble with Oppy's arm joints, so I fear we are going to be stuck here for a while yet.

The last images are down and here is the 360 degree panoramic view around Erebus.
