Worth to be added to the databases.
May I have any information from anybody who know this formation? When you tilt with the "terrain" open, I see it is a rocky earth layer coming up out of the surface in a very wide declined area.

hi tek!
as a reply to your question had been thrown up long ago i have to express that these are some kind of moutain-top-chains in a sand-filled valley.
maybe some light patterned consequences of the collision of India and the Asian continent, with further signs of rivers' fill up effects... 
regards,

This is a beautiful example of a syncline, sedimentary rocks that have been folded. The younger rock layers are in the center.
More about sedimentary structures and the effects of weathering upon them.
It took me a while to answer this one, Tek.

They say patience is a virtue, Tek.
You must be highly virtuous!
