Triassic sandstone with ripples, near Kildonan

The surface of this sandstone shows well-developed ripples, indicating that they were deposited on the shores of an ocean or lake. (Ripples are formed in other environments, such as rivers, but the characteristics of these sediments suggest that they were not deposited in a river).
