Tens of thousands of images are obtained from our spacecraft, professional astronomers and amateur astronomers of planetary and deep space objects...
Many times very small, tiny detail is missed. This is not the first time something was discovered in astronomical images, by someone that had nothing to do with obtaining the image.
Queue Total Recall theme song.
Martians made a statue of the “Little Mermaid” ?
From the article...
“The newfound hole on Mars resembled features seen on other parts of Mars in a 2007 study by Glen Cushing, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist.
Cushing suggested that these anomalous pit craters are like skylights — places where a small part of the roof of a cave or a lava tube had collapsed, opening the area below the surface to the sky.”

I’m guessing these kids could manage the gulf oil spill too.

In addition to this from the article:
"This pit is certainly new to us," Cushing told the students. "And it is only the second one known to be associated with Pavonis Mons."
Cave I don’t see no stinking cave. All I see is a stinking mans face.
“Monuments of Mars”!!!
West of the Rockies, your on with Richard C Hoagland....
Here....Even the drummer can see this.
Mars cave: Sixteen seventh-grade students at Evergreen Middle School in Cottonwood, Calif., found the Martian pit feature at the center of the superimposed red square in this image while participating in a program that enables students to use the camera on NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter.

wheres it at on the first picture you posted
Rimshot!
Some estimates have the cave about 620 wide by at least 450 feet deep...
Inside the cave, the youngsters discovered a mysterious idol that appears to bring them bad luck.
Clouds above the rim of "Endurance Crater" in this image from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. These clouds occur in a region of strong vertical shear. The cloud particles (ice in this martian case) fall out, and get dragged along away from the location where they originally condensed, forming characteristic streamers. Opportunity took this picture with its navigation camera during the rover's 269th martian day (Oct. 26, 2004). (NASA/JPL)
On May 19th, 2005, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit captured this stunning view as the Sun sank below the rim of Gusev crater on Mars. This Panoramic Camera mosaic was taken around 6:07 in the evening of the rover's 489th martian day, or sol. Spirit was commanded to stay awake briefly after sending that sol's data to the Mars Odyssey orbiter just before sunset. The image is a false color composite, showing the sky similar to what a human would see, but with the colors slightly exaggerated. (NASA/JPL
Looks like a cyst I had on my back...
Hmm, and not one ‘So that’s where Bin Laden is hiding.’? Tsk.
“Take any Tiki!” They did end up in a cave with Vincent Price didn’t they?
