Fine structure in cosmic ray spectra

Description
The case is made for there being more 'structure' in the cosmic ray energy spectra than just the well-known knee at several PeV and the ankle at several EeV. Specifically, there seems to be a 'dip' or 'kink' at about 100 GeV/nucleon, a possible 'bump' at about 10 TeV, an 'iron peak' at 60 PeV and the possibility of further structure before the ankle is reached. The significance of the structures will be assessed.
