    Data Files Received:


Evidence of bioturbation in hard limestones.


The East base of "Skyline Rim", a nice view. The rim is between 100 and 120 meters tall.


The debris aprons are incised by small gullies and channel passes. Frosting/unfrosting processes cause rocks to fall down the gullies.


A very nice "monolith", perhaps evidence of a past position of the rim. It's more than 20 meters tall and about 10 meters far from the base of the rim.


Gilles near the "monolith" giving the scale. We observed hundreds of sediment layers.


The debris aprons is incised by parallel gullies but also down the slope by networked channels.


Here researchers are using a sediment trap in order to study the slope dynamic.


At the South part of Skyline Rim, we found another "monolith".


View against the light.
