  • Ummm… Billions of years ago, Mars had a huge liquid ocean on the planet. Just like earth, oceans create sedimentary rock layers that, when the oceans dry up and these layers turn into rock, they look much like cement slabs.
    Sorry folks. Marvin the Martian didn’t have his house on a slab at this location. Or even on this planet. :mrgreen:

  • Sometimes I see images in the clouds but no matter how hard I look at those pics, all I see is a pile of rocks

  • Jay

    Those objects are not artificially formed they are layered like many geological deposits found on earth. Like Shale, slate, sandstone etc…
    Now when you find some slabs with rebar protruding or a large torch held by an enormous arm…
