planar cross-stratification in sands
I think it would be in sands (and not of sands), but there are quite a few Google hits for planar cross-stratification, so I think that might be the correct term

Yes, it's in the Earth Sciences dicitonary (Oxford). cross-stratification is a family of primary sedimentary structures formed by the migration of the slip-faces of rippled bedforms or of bars. It is characterised by inclined laminations (foresets) bounded by planar surfaces (planar or tabular cross-stratification), or by scoop-shaped surfaces (trough cross-stratification).
