Fossil wave ripple rock
Nevada

This view is from above the rock glacier on the north side of Wheeler Peak in Great Basin National Park, Nevada.  While taking an alternative descent down from Wheeler Peak, I followed this ridge down & stumbled upon this very distinct boulder w/ incredible fossil wave ripples in a limestone-type formation.  These mountains are part of the Snake Range which has rocks comprised of limestone from sand, mud, & limey ooze, deposited at the bottom of a shallow sea during late Precambrian to Cambrian age (about 560 million years ago).  Today this rock sits well above 11,000 feet above sea level.
