Image Description

Razorbacks are thin, flaky, preferentially cemented features along crack edges that are either supported on one side by gypsum sand, or protrude out of the ground unsupported. Razorback surfaces extend up to a few centimeters above the dune slope surface and are up to a couple millimeters thick. Razorbacks protrude out of the dune slopes at 50°-90° from horizontal, with the dominant angle being ~55°.
