Around this part of Nevada these dry lake beds can be alkalai salts or fine dust with the consistancy of talcum powder, which this one is. You can see it on the tires. The winter rains produce a shallow lake with the dust turning to a mud. When the lake dries, the surface cracks into large firm blocks. The winds blow off any dust and the surface looks shiney in the moonlight. See the next photo for a better view of the cracked surface. I would imagine there are lots of these in Australia too.

Oh how you must be missing that Florida wildlife, John! Gorgeous picture, even if it is all deserted.
