Exclamation Mark on Mars

[deuem]

Did you notice the 2 flows I circled. They go down? No? If that surface was high I would expect the flows to be reversed.

In the Deuem shot it almost looks like something hit and got burried which caused the bottom dot to rise. It might be one of each. But the land inbetween seem to be almost level or at least connecting both sides That black area might be whats left over of a hole. Need radar info....

Will keep trying to access website for Long/Lat information.

Thanks ArMap, and you are right, it is a depression, got Google Mars image for Hirise and plainly shows what we are thinking is a Plateau or an Oasis/Island is definitely a play on  the eyes and shadowing.



I suggest that if one has Google Earth/Mars to look around that are, when I was zooming in there is a lot of thing's (Anomalies) that seem to be blurred out, but I am not sure if this is because I personally requested desired coordinates or if it is something that is intentionally being masked from view.

Also seems to be a Tectonic fracture that run's from the Exclamation area down to another area that is rather strange looking, what these are, "I can't say for sure." But is an interesting area area.

I looked at the HiRise Jpeg 2000 image and to me it's clearly a depression.

Looked at this image.



The arrow points follows the direction of the light, coming at an angle of 109.1º (if I didn't made any mistake) CCW from the top of the picture.

I was saying that it's a mesa (or plateau), not a depression.

Yes.

Here are all the areas you marked, at 100% zoom taken from the JPEG 2000 image.

I numbered the areas you marked to make it easier to identify them.


In the following images, like in the image I posted in a previous post, north is to the top of the image (rotated some 97º CCW when compared with "exclamation mark" image).

Area 1


Area 2


Area 3


I hope this helps.

I say You have the light backwards.  See that cluster of lumps on the left in the lighted area?  Based on Their shadows, the light is coming in opposite, and it is a depression We're looking at - unless those lumps are depressions - which I sincerely doubt.

[ArMaP]

I say You have the light backwards.

The position of the sun at the time the photo was taken is one of the informations available on the image page, it's the "Sub-solar azimuth".

See that cluster of lumps on the left in the lighted area?

These small craters, seen here at 100% zoom?

[Amaterasu]

They look like lumps to Me, not craters.

[ArMaP]

They look like lumps to Me, not craters.

And the rocks look like craters, I suppose. What about the dunes?

[zorgon]

Who made the geometric measurements in this image?

Got that via google... no idea

Going 100% off my Deuem process I find both Craters and Rocks.  The boulders are well rounded and look like they have been in the surf for many a year. The Boulders and Craters are circled in the next photo. So I think IMHO we have both... The shadows tell the story for me. The craters give a round shadow like the moons creat and the rocks show a distint shadow fall.

Aren't the shadows all on the same side?
