a martian oddbox

[quote author=funbox the rover appears to be causing a bit of a land slide , it appears like vsrying degrees of sublimation has created interesting dark/lighter drying patches *best seen on original*



Hey funbox, if you have an interest in "black goo".............I have found places on Mars that are huge areas of what may be some sort of black goo! Have you ever had any experience with septic systems, when they over load and the waste comes to the top of the ground?? Well, that is just what the black surface spots on Mars look like to me!
I will post here a screenshot of one of them, but this is no small area of "goo". This screenshot is one from a Mars Orbiter camera, and it covers a wide surface area!
If I can find the original link, I will post it too.
What do you think?

Interesting place whats the square mark lower right I wonder.

where they take the surface samples ?

No, this is a Mars Orbiter photo, and there are no Rovers anywhere close to this area - still haven't found the actual photo yet!!

I wasn't referring to us, *rover/s*

it was postulated that underground beings were /are dumping their goop wasn't it ? .. maybe that's a surface testing station, where exacting measurements are taken to make sure theres just goop and nothing else but goop

Could be! Another oddity in this photo is what I would call a primary feature - that would be the large curvy thing that comes out of the ground with a riser, then it swoops downward. Now if we look closely at this pic, there are 2 other similar features just to the left  that I think looks to be older/more worn, but possibly similarly used? If someone was pumping liquid wast from underground, then maybe at the surface out-put point some type of insulation of the pipe may be necessary to protect the pipes from freezing before liquid was eliminated. I have numbered these from the oldest to the newest looking one, in the pic.

To me, it does appear that we can just see the end of something circular, like a tube, that barely sticks out at the end of these things.

my apologies for the late reply , been off mars forrabit

certainly do look tubelike ,and lets face it , any advanced civilisation would have to, if they hadn't expanded into space/ earth already.. although ill imagine the raw scientific community are going to attribute them to lava flows or some outgassing etc etc

nice spot though

Or maybe it doesn't look like a tube in a better version of the photo, and that's why it's a shame we don't have the photo ID.

where's the better version of the photo ? and why is it a shame we don't have the id ? cant we find this region , it's fairly distinctive..

Find me the photo ID and I'm sure I can get a better version, that image appears to have had the brightness and contrast adjusted for a larger area, that's why we are seeing everything so dark.

and why is it a shame we don't have the id ?

Because it would give me the possibility of looking for a better version.

cant we find this region , it's fairly distinctive..

Yes, but do you know how big that region is? If it's a 5 km x 5 km square then it's just something like 1/1000000 of Mars' surface.
But if you find it easy to find the region go ahead and find it, it would be great.

it would be , but I think its incumbent on rdunk to find the source ,*d*t beg ya pardon Dyna *it: scrub that rDunk **t

I am still looking for the actual photo! I am surprised that I don't have it in my files anyway, since I made a screenshot from it! I will find it!!

Meanwhile -  - here is another screenshot of my blackened area that gives us a slightly different perspective. I did make these screenshots in year 2011.

where did you originally grab them from , something like google mars ? or was it some science site etc etc ?

Could it be related to this?

Funbox, I am relatively certain that these black area screenshots are from the Mars Orbiter CTX camera.

[rdunk]

Well it is possible! W
hat I am doing in looking for the actual photos is, I am going back to other "Mars anomalies" that I was also looking at closely, such as the one you noted here. As I said, I did make the screenshots in 2011, so that is something for me to go on anyway. I still seem to remember us discussing that black area here, but as I said, I haven't found it here either! ArMaP, do you possibly remember seeing/discussing this in the past??
