I took a stab at summarizing some stuff I'd read regarding Meridiani geology over
here.
From those articles, a possible explanation might be:
Current sands are blasting the rocks down to pavement. In this case the grains are hop-hop-hopping (=saltating) very,very close to the surface of the sand layer. You'd expect undercutting when there is a decent vertical profile. ("Decent vertical profile" in this case probably is only a few inches!)
The tiny ripples in the gap between the two rock pavement pieces give a clue to the current local wind direction near the face of the rock. The winds and thus saltating sand particles are running parallel to the face of the rock.
There may be a subtle effect of hardness of the different layers, probably heavily accentuated by the saltating particles closer to the surface at the base of the tiny layer stack. (think Niagara waterfall - where the lower layers erode and undercut to form the waterfall)
The little blue flecks could be blueberries eroding out, or they could also be little pieces of dark basaltic sand that have temporarily stuck to the rock. The dark basaltic sand is likely the current mobile erosive agent.
Notice how there is a tiny shelf that is just being exposed right at the surface. This might be the interface between the soft layer, or it could be a new section that is just being exhumed (and soon to be eroded).
(And on a less technical note, the rock on the left looks like the nose of a dolphin. I now have the "Flipper" theme song running through my head...)
