Now ya see it, now ya don't.  Wrong angle? Wind blew it away?

seems to be them all over

the question is .. which came first ? the ripple of sand.. underneath whatever squirms over it ?

It's the other way, the first photo shows nothing, the second shows the "worm", that appears to be the result of the shooting of the laser that works with the ChemCam, the camera that took these photos.

OK, does that apply to funbox's 'worm' also?  Or is that somehow attributable to a non living process?

No.

It looks like the result of a geological process.

[funbox]

No.
It looks like the result of a geological process.

but when ? before the windblown sand shape was formed or after .. y can you see it overlaying the crest of the mini wind-shaped dunette ..?

Before, obviously, as geological processes are slower than dune forming, specially at such small scale.

so how did the dune form underneath it without its shape and form being perturbed by it ?

Well, funbox's thing looks like a worm cast.  Maybe you could say it was fulgurite but it doesn't look like it.

fulgite ide see as more angular , none of the smooth contours as this thing, but ide still like to know how it  formed obove and across the dunette ripple

chicken or egg  ?

In the same way other dunes form, why?

[funbox]

In the same way other dunes form, why?

because the dunes are ever changing , which brings in to question the time, this wormy shaped thing formed .. indicative of recent activity? , if so , then begs the question ,how active is Mars ? and how far do these activity range in ?

The rock only needs to have a little weight at the bottom to keep on that position, leaving the dune free to move without too much interference.

unlike the rocks with the huge sand trails then .. remember them from a few years back ? but they managed to perturb the wind and its accompanying 2 micron sand grains...
is this some form of doublethink your suffering with ?
