On Sol 690, Oppy PanCam captured some beautiful images of the rocks, with radent afternoon illumination giving strong relief to stratifications and 3D structure.
Here a stitch:
I already asked to Malgar to make a photoclinometry on this...

QUOTE I am somewhat concerned that what is being called.... Me too. Looking _at_ an eroded bedding surface is somewhat iffy. What I was hoping was that Oppy would look at some of the vertical joint planes exposed at this current outcrop. Or/and/also at the Mogollon Rim area 80 meters away. <chant> Move Move Move </chant> --Bill -------------------- |

I'm glad it is not just me then - I've wondered that right from the first such sightings in Eagle Crater. I've been tempted to make a model using layers of cardboard to see if I could simulate features that look like festooning, but have not had the time so far...

Airbag  Here are two photos of a layered rock I have. The first one is looking directly at a surface that is fairly parallel to the layers. I can make myself believe I see ripples here.
The second one is from the side -- and it shows that all the layers are flat and parallel to each other with no ripples.
