I've never seen an example of this before, but this picture that I happened upon caught my eye:

Is that Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in there? I didn't know it was possible in a supercell base, but I suppose that would be a decent place to find the conditions necessary. I'm still amazed at some of the pictures that Eric was able to take - absolutely gorgeous supercell regardless of what this feature is.
edit: guess I should have spent a few more minutes Googling... Mike Hollingshead has seen this several times:
