Thanks. My present avatar (for those reading this after I change it to a dancing bear or something) is the pic of the Little green/blue "Martian" with the enormous eyes and bulbous head lounging upon a rock (who is now apparently seen as just a rock from a different angle, even as the little guy himself is scampering around chasing sand fleas or whatever it eats).

It is the same curio from a different angle... see below.


And they all said in unison... "It's just rocks"... however, this time I must agree. Rocks that migrated and stacked themselves into a circular flock. All perfectly natural (sure it is...).

Robo-Cop did it, in the Corral, with a Rock (This, of course, is in the "Mars Edition" of Clue...)

We have a real problem when people do a post like this because members who see the text but don't understand the scale of the objects believe it's is what it says, other sites on the net do this and at some point it becomes a thread on here because members have saw them.

Some people on here need to apply a little bit of control on what they post!!!

And have any of the orbiting Mars imagers taken a closer look at this from slightly different angles?

I have to check, I haven't been following HiRISE for some time and they have been taking stereo pairs of some areas.

good point on the rough surfaces , what do you think of Buzzes ruined hillfort/fairyring/snakepit , I noticed he spotted it in some of the 524 was it ?

I don't have any idea of how that was formed.

Oh, wrong object, I was commenting on the snake/plant rocks, that's what I thought you meant. Never mind.

Starting with Buzz's Spoke-with-rim I can count the number of seemingly real spokes on one hand:

how many fingers Winston? how ever many BB says o course

quicky from the mardi cam

looks kind of globular , different from any rock around it, the specular highlight makes it looked polished or wet..

*one cup of photoshop later*

Excellent work, funbox ... just wanted to see what happens when laying a "perfect ellipse" on top of that stone arrangement (with respect to perspective & rotation):


Pretty good match, I'd say!

To me, the most interesting thing in this photo (besides the "circle") is what we can see on the background, as it looks like we are looking a kind of gully that eroded the flat surface where Curiosity has been roving, and we can see the top "layer" and the soil below it. If Curiosity follows that path (I think they are thinking about that) then it will have a good opportunity (no pun intended) to see the first (as far as I remember) stratigraphy of Mars up close, with layers that represent older "versions" of that area.

If this was really a gully carved by some kind of flow then it will likely have debris (I don't remember a better word) that were taken by the gully-carving flow, so an area like that would be an excellent place to explore.

As long as the rover doesn't get stuck on the sand.

it is a difficult one to formulate in respects to natural /air water fire forces, as usual we need some more close up , although there's a few pictures of it now ill try to get a gif together.

I do hope the curiosity hasn't stumbled across a dragons graveyard, its looks a bit like one swallowing its tale

yes they must head down that gully as there is what looks like an arched bridge down the bottom,at 10 oclockish

reply to post by ArMaP


I really hope they know what they're doing if they're going to take Curiosity into the sand (and that's not even taking Dune worms into account). Keeping my fingers crossed (see above post, counting on one hand).

As for the rock fairy ring, explaining that away is well above my paygrade ($0).
