Alexander Novgorodov, the reader of the portal R&D.CNews from Moscow Region, has pointed to an object of unusual morphology found on Mars images made by the spacecraft Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

On the images taken from the orbit an unusual mountain formation is depicted, which seems to have resulted from weathering (erosion) and is located amid the frozen ocean. The given formation drop-like shape (in section), its evidently erosion origin and the unusual structure at the base, which might be conventionally called a 'door' for its physical resemblance, are of interest.

The object unusual form and the presence of a 'door' do not mean the mountain formation is of artificial origin. The mentioned peculiarities are of primary interest because of their morphology.

The other images sent by our reader depict another formation of unusual shape resembling a pyramid with a regular polygon at the base.

Looks like the conning tower of a submarine surfaced in ice.

That was my reaction to the first picture. I had to get down to post 16 before I realized it was a hole, not a mountain.

Yeah yeah, I got one just like it in my den.

Not sure exactly how it works but those feet on each side may be found in public toilets all over Italy South of Rome.

So, it's pretty obvious what it's for, but the users were enormous.

This whole thread has become too silly and what with regulations prohibiting waterboarding, if you persist in silly posts, will given the Comfy Chair.

"Uranus resembles a giant avocado with a pit in it..."

Well? Does it?

That's none of your business, that's between me & my Proctologist.

It's just a Baby Ruth. It's harmless.

Looks like the wind sculpted a pretty good nasa airfoil section

I’m more mystified about that levitating purple arrow. s/
