It looks like those marks are on the area where two sensors touch each other, so I guess it's a technical problem.
On the real photo (available here) you can see that those things are not on Mars' surface.

PS: And some people don't understand why I say Google Earth/Mars/Moon is not the best tool to analyse photos...
You cannot see those things that you posted because they are not on the image I posted, I would need a bigger image to show the whole area affected by what I think is a sensor problem.

your "real photo" seems to muddle up the images i posted. i can't even see those things out there, and your attempt to blow out and zoom in makes the whole thing worse.Kind of, now you see now you dont.
"My" HiRISE image is based on the original images, the way you say it it looks like Google is the one taking the photos...
as usual your hi-rise reference is also full of "maybes".

There seems to be a size discrepancy. If the Mars and moon blueberries are about the size of the head of a pin, the 1 meter sized appearances in the photos are several orders of magnitude too large to be the same thing, right?
For example, ranging in size from less than 100 micrometers to more than 250 micrometers, similar spherules were found in Moon soil samples collected by Apollo 12
Do they form in perfectly straight lines? Your examples don't show that.

My first impression was some kind of image problem, rather than an actual surface feature, I'm not sure how else to say it.

The problem is that Google uses the same method YouTube uses to fake better images from compressed images, they blur them a little.

I'm sorry but I should never post on another 3rd party image interpretation thread ever again. The simple fact is you are NOT EVER going to discover anything from an image provider on the internet. It boggles the mind sometimes people think they can, I mean really.
