Fossilised sand ripples

Fossilised sand ripples

Moving now into the Flinders Ranges in South Australia – and the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary in particular.

Ripples in sand created by water some hundreds of millions of years ago are frozen in time. What was once a horizontal surface is now vertical. Taken in Bararranna Gorge at Arkaroola.
