Do you mean that isn’t a closeup of a martian’s testicle?

Something was bubbling up at one time.

“Something was bubbling up at one time.”

It certainly looks like it, doesn’t it? I’m at a complete loss as as to just how it could freeze like that. “Mud volcano” but how to preserve some sort of a boil???

[rfp1234]

They can use the images in the upcoming blockbuster
“E.Three, the Extra-testicle”.

More likely some crystal formation during a wet period but I’ve never seen anything quite like that.

[mylife]

No telling, but a fascinating look at geological processes.

Reminds me of pancakes LOL

[going hot]

I’ve never seen anything quite like that.

Well...it is out of this world.

Petrified bubbles formed by a thick substance.

[CrazyIvan]

Looks just like asphalt on a hot day.

[mylife]

I prefer pancakes.

[mylife]

Remember when you used to pop the bubbles on those old dirt and oil roads with your bare feet on a hot summer day?

[lurk]

Looks like Martian deer droppings. I wonder how big the deer are and what they taste like.

[GeronL]

CO2 bubbles bubbling up into mud??

[JimSEA]

Now that you bring it up . . . .
