Our Lass gave a nod at the word 'concretions', it seems that she's clinging on to some knowledge from Geology classes in her youth.

On a smaller scale, I've seen sand ripples and cracked mud paving, but nothing like those in your photo. I did wonder if they were the remnants of stromatolites.

If you know more about them, then please tell!<br /><br />Graeme, what does "MK" stand for?<br /><br />JL, I thought about you when our brother-in-law visited last week. He ended up at the very nice Marina Dunes with his extraordinarily large RV... after 5 1/2 hours driving Hwy 1 from San Simeon. Apparently, the mudslides from earlier this year are still holding up normal Hwy 1 traffic. Thought I'd let you know.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-54566376490164976822011-10-23T14:45:11.934-07:002011-10-23T14:45:11.934-07:00I am curious too about the second photo.
