      @@GeologyHub So these are formed, as is still occuring in the Neocene, in areas prone to Continental ice sheet formation by alternations of Stadial Ice Dome building, and Geothermally driven ice dome rupture and collapse.
      Causing saline deep aquifers to blowout, deposit loess and chemically weather it to clay.
      The Iron side of this is interesting. Iron 2+ ferrous in the sandstone rather than Iron 3+ ferric. Suggests reducing conditions in the porefluids that passed through the sandstone layers as the central Australian Ice dome ruptures proceeded. H2S, HF, HCl, methane, ammonia...
      Probably hypersaline ionic molten salts or supercritical geofluid flow as we observe occuring in Greenland and Antarctica today.
      As they undergo their periodic icedome blowouts.
      And responsible for native metallic copper in the Central Great lakes Blowout zone.
      And Native Metallic Iron In Greenlands.
      Anaerobic extremophiles may also have been involved. Probably still are.
      In symbiosis with the cyanobacteria providing oxygen with their bundled protein nanowires trading electrons for protons.

    Earth rocking in the distant past, slowly, just enough for a steady lay down of soil from differing areas . Magnetic readings maybe could give some credence to this. Just like undercoating paint, layer on layer over the years centuries or more. Nothing stays the same on Earth , probably, not outside Earth either.

    This video definitely has a dark undertone. We get to learn about this beautiful landscape, but there are going to be sheeple that don't care how brittle and easily damaged it is, they just gotta climb it, defacing it with their rope anchors and speeding up erosion while wasting beauty that could have lasted for millions of years.
    Something like this better have all the incentives in place to not climb these things. Electric fences are too costly, maybe a small section should be assigned to specifically be climbed while the rest is protected, against climbing by law, having some watch towers next to it peeking out over them.
