It is well-known that the cross covariogram of two convex bodies in n dimensions is 1/n-concave on its support. This paper provides conditions for strict 1/n-concavity in dimension n>1, and an analysis of how it can fail. Among the implications are that (i.) the cross covariogram of strictly convex bodies is strictly 1/n-concave, unless one body contains a translate of the other in its interior, and (ii.) the cross covariogram of an arbitrary convex body with its reflection through the origin is strictly log-concave.
