Pete, List,
Very interesting photo.
I have a question about it's morphology?
Why does it look like that? Why does it have so many holes / dents?
Given the atmosphere on Mars being so thin compared with Earth, I thought Earths Atmosphere is what caused this type of erosion of surface materials? It was my understanding that the material ablated away as it passed through the atmosphere . If that is so then why does it look the same on Mars.
Is it possible that maybe it already looked like this before it entered Mars' atmosphere?
Just curious.
