Found: Man-Made Pavements on Mars
Mars rover Curiosity imaged the following cross-bedding (notes 1, 2) at Shaler on Sol 307 and Sol 120.
However, the cross-bedding looks more like flat, thin, and smooth pavements constructed by Martians:

Added on July 1: Why they are not cross-beds.
No cross-beds and no rocks on Earth look like those on Mars. The “cross-beds” are actually man-made pavement. The pavement broke and sank to lower positions as marked in http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=lin440315&b=20&f=1556868278&p=435

No it isn’t
LOL How is flat rock proof of “man made pavement”
….look up what SHALE looks like on earth… or windswept sandstone… or one of the thousand other examples of naturally occuring flat rock.
Grasping at straws man. Grasping at straws.
No rocks on Earth look like those objects on Mars. Cross-beds and shale don’t look like Taco. Those broken pieces of pavement look like Taco. Pavements are often reinforced with steel rods.
New York City has been found on Mars. [sarcasm]
No, New York City could not have constructed pavements that lasted billions of years.
