Universal Trek Posted May 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2014 NASA Images Show Mars Beach And Cut Stone Pillars Decorated With Dolphins Mars AnomaliesMartian Art? This NASA image shows cut stone blocks,cement blocks and pillars decorated with what appear to be dolphins or some sort of fish. The fact that the pillar seems tobe decorated with dolphin/fish and is found on what appears to be a beach setting...is pretty amazing. The NASA caption states that this image has been color enhanced to increase the contrast between different rock and soil types on the Martian surface. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qxcontinuum Posted May 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I always wondered about those square blocks on Mars . Way to perfectly square to be shaped by the wind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundew Posted May 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) We do have hexagonal (six-sided) basalt blocks naturally occurring on the Earth, but these Martian forms are rather curious. Don't know about "dolphins and fish" but the square bisected block-like form is very interesting. It would be interesting to dig one out and see the entire form of the object.

Way to perfectly square to be shaped by the wind Yes, the one in the rear in this video ... the cement block object...those very precise corners on it...I just can't see that being done by wind or erosion.

qxcontinuum Posted May 3, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Wow that is so interesting, but since the legend is saying that the step way stones were built by a king, wouldn't be safer to assume so instead of attributing this unusual feature to nature? I won't compare anything on Mars to what is on Earth. Historians don't even know how many races and nations ruled the earth before. A named lava cut like stones can be in fact an old pavement from an ancient city. There were billions of ppl on earth so far and their traces will be seen everywhere Edited May 3, 2014 by qxcontinuum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universal Trek Posted May 3, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted May 3, 2014 There's weirder geology than that right here on Earth. Completely different phenomena...lots of strange naturally formed strange geological features on Mars as well. These objects, both the ones in this video and other videos stand out, distinctly different than the surroundings...not a part of some natural widespread geological formation... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willowdreams Posted May 3, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I am going to be honest. I do not see it the way the video directs us to see it. I do not see anything there that does not look 'naturally' formed. I understand though how things ARE perceived. I mean here on earth I have seen cement structures that LOOK naturally formed but are not, and I have seen things created by nature that looks manufactured by humans. The video is nice, I enjoy looking at nasa images, but I do not see it the same way the person on the video directs us to see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NASA caption states that this image has been color enhanced to increase the contrast between different rock and soil types on the Martian surface. Nothing anomalous here. Just sandstone blocks shattered by a small meteorite impact. The image was taken by Opportunity at Concepción crater. The crater is small, about 10 meters in diameter, and relatively fresh. Here's the view from space, courtesy of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Opportunity is sitting at the edge of the crater, just to the left of the arrow: source: http://www.nasa.gov/...s/pia12969.html The blocks aren't artificial, and there are no carved dolphins: source: http://marsrover.nas...RP2558L3M1.HTML source: http://marsrover.nas...UP2560L2M1.HTML I think it's pretty clear from the closeup images that the rocks aren't artificial. The sides aren't actually flat, and they're not parallel to each other. They're just blocky chunks of sandstone, like these here on earth: Now, the geologists DID find something interesting about these rocks, but it has nothing to do with them being artificial, carved, etc. For more, take a look here (link). Mars has plenty of natural mysteries to explore. There's really no need to imagine aliens in every photo. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top image....and (particularly) the bit on the left of the second image........makes me think of petrified wood.. I, too, am sceptical about the dolphins/fish... ......perhaps those shapes are bits of petrified bark on the petrified wood... just a suggestion . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeder Posted May 3, 2014 #18 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Petrified wood? These are Earth images btw Both are just rock...that looks like petrified wood! http://www.summitpost.org/rock-looks-like-petrified-wood/672502 http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2006/07/05/young-earth-creationist-debunk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee Posted May 3, 2014 #21 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Looks convincing. it does make me wonder.... the Nasa image is here... that the OP video used........ http://photojournal....atalog/PIA12452 and in the blurb they say.... This rock has a thick, dark-colored coating that is interesting to scientists because many of the rocks in the surrounding area have the same mysterious dark stuff. The coating could be remnants of a layer that was changed by the action of water and weather or, it could be a layer of rock that melted when a meteor (less than a foot across) impacted Mars, ejecting this rock and others and creating the crater "Concepcion." Knowing its origins will help them understand the history of Mars. Opportunity's mission is to figure out the "ingredients" of this morsel by studying the chemicals in it. Patches of unusual dark material can be seen on top of this rock and on several others in the scene. Perhaps the...'mysterious dark stuff'...is, as I speculated...petrified bark . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
