Yes, Scott, I would think that the wind and the sand have a lot to do with. Go back to the article written by Alan Keese and published in Meteorite-Times last September, he went through a sand storm while he was in the Wabar area and writes about it.

With the same shadows--looks like they're sitting on their own hilltop. Wind

The distribution of the pearls is interesting-- they are all uniformly separated, almost as if they repelled each other. I would have expected at least some of them to be piled together or collect together in sunken areas. Is this somehow related to wind sorting the sands?

What a density of grains - incredible. Thanks for this awesome in situ pic, Jens. Do you think there're still pieces of Wabar to be found at the surface or do we talk more of a dune planet?
