An earlier issues, September 2008, of the Utah 
Geological Survey Notes has an article about 
exhumed paleochannels in the Morrison and Cedar 
Mountain formations that are terrestrial analogues
of exhumed paleochannels seen on satellite images of 
Mars. The article discussing these paleochannels is:

Chidsey, T. C., R. M. E. Williams, and D. E. Eby, 2008, 
Ancient Exhumed River Channels of the Morrison and 
Cedar Mountain Formations—Analogs for Eastern 
Utah Oil and Gas Fields and Features on Mars Too! 
Utah Geological Survey Notes. Vol. 40, no. 3, PP. 1-4.

The Utah inverted paleochannels can be seen readily on 
Google Earth. The coordinates for one prominent set of 
them is:
