What is interesting about these images when viewed in 3D is how they resemble "frost heave" soil. The soil is "stacked" so to speak . . . vertical "mini towers". Something is binding the particles together.
Inviting input from freepdom (or freepdumb) . . .

Sadly, the full beauty of Mars isn't captured in the photos coming back thus far. They need to get a probe closer to the mountains which are breathtaking.

Neat observation. Maybe obvious to some, but I appreciate it.
To: Phil V.
Yes, the frost analogy is what I was thinking. Something making it stack up like that. Magnetism?
To: Phil V.
"Something is binding the particles together." Ice crystals? Any water vapor in the atmosphere has likely precipitated out and is bound into the topsoil as ice crystals.
My guess is we're going to find ample water on the planet. But it won't be liquid...

I've seen something like that in a riverbed someplace. Something about the water passing over and laying on material as its dries up. Interesting!
To: Phil V.
gives me a headache just to look at it.

You know, if you reall stare at the bottom photo, a hand print and a three-toed footprint seem to be visible, as well as what might be writing.
No really, look again.

The top photo looks like siltstone.

I think I know why Mars is so barren now. A million years ago, their version of the Democrat Party elected a Howard Dean-type who promptly surrended the planet to Neptunian suicide bombers.

If you look at that first one and focus beyond it you will sê a herd of unicorns.

With the red and blue glasses it looks like wet clumpy beach sand.

Well that is interesting!
I was thinking more along the lines of a Dalton Carpet display. . .
