- Cross-Bedding at ‘Whale Rock’ - Science@NASA
This view from the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity shows an example of cross-bedding that results from water passing over a loose bed of sediment

The scene combines multiple images taken with both cameras of the Mast Camera Mastcam on Curiosity on Aug 27, 2015, during the 1,087th Martian day, or sol of the rover's work on Mars
- Complex bedding geometry in the upper portion of Aeolis Mons, Gale . . .
One of the most environmentally diagnostic features of sedimentary rocks is cross-bedding, which occurs when sediment is transported by wind, water, or volcanic processes, resulting in horizontal strata composed of inclined beds

This post describes cross-bedding in Upper Aeolis Mons in Gale crater One location on Mars where numerous examples of cross-bedding have been observed is Gale crater, a ~154 km diameter crater containing a ~5 km tall mountain of layered rock called Aeolis Mons (informally dubbed Mt Sharp)
- Cross-Bedding at Whale Rock – NASA Mars Exploration
The cross-bedding -- evident as layers at angles to each other -- reflects formation and passage of waves of sand, one on top of the other These are known as ripples, or dunes
- Cross bedding explained, on an outcrop from Mars - ZME Science
NASA recently uploaded a strikingly beautiful photograph on their website showing a petrified sand dune on Mars, and I'll explain exactly how they formed
- (PDF) Reconstruction of Eolian Bedforms and Paleocurrents from Cross . . .
High-Resolution images of the cross-bedded strata observed at Victoria Crater are used to reconstruct sedimentary bedforms on Mars in order to infer formation process and describe the

Cross-bedding seen in the layers of this Martian rock is evidence of movement of water recorded by waves or ripples of loose sediment the water passed over
