Bundled cross-strata from Martian rocks suggest an Earth-like cyclic self-organisation of bedforms
Cross-strata on Mars are expressions of ancient bedforms formed due to sediment transport by either wind or water. Some of these cross-strata show peculiar features, including intercalated mudstone drapes, discontinuity surfaces and cyclic patterns in stratum thickness (i.e. bund...
