I'm going to go out on a limb and wait for someone to saw it off -- and for elephants that is a sight to see:

What I'm hinting at is ripple marks.

I think everyhing NASA has said so far about this crater is wrong.

I think it was created before the major water event.

I think all the evapotite beds are horizontal -- not vertical.

And I have always thought Burns "cliff" would be the key, because I think the top of the "cliff" was a high and dry area and bottom parts a basaltic beach front awash with whatever was happening in the bowl of the crater.

I think seasonal wind blown ripples deposited the freshly created berries in the freshly deposited edges of evaporite as the lake dried up.

I predicted a million seconds ago that the salt content would go up the further down in the crater we went because of the increasing concentration of remaining salts in the water. I think that has been confirmed.

I pointed out even earlier that the erosion of the beds was entirely consistant with thin horizontal layers draped over the topography of the crater

I made a suggestion even further back that the berries themselves were similar to ocean manganese nudules and even guessed at the length of time the lake existed based on the size distribution of the berries and the growth rate of Earthly nodules.

( Say, did I hear the sound of a branch cracking?)

OK guys, start sawing...
