Google Earth is a great way to visualize the extensive field of Oriented Landforms in Argentina.

The keyhole file here presents oriented landforms outlined with the generic PZ ejecta overlay. I encourage the viewer to turn the overlay on and off to validate the alignment suggested. No doubt many could be aligned differently, even by 180. Some of these are simply members of large fields of splat marks. Others have water inclusions, reminding us of Carolina bays; could this be an early stage of their development, or perhaps a later one as they are worn away?


This field of view is ~ 10 kilometers across.
