    There is an interesting contour within the fan in the middle. Anyone know what it could be?

    If I didn't know better I'd say it was a slug !! 😉

    I've no idea on this one, but as you say it's very interesting. It gives the appearance of something sitting on top of a fan(?)

    Good find.

    Hi, I had a look at the HiRISE on this image, and found it comes from an area where there are the edges of shallow shelves of layered deposits. This odd feature lies right on one of these shallow 'drop offs' which runs from the top edge of the image, to the right of centre, downwards to the right of the top line of fans, then horizontally across that top line of fans before dropping downwards again through the unusual looking feature under discussion, eventually meeting the bottom edge of the image towards the lower left corner. ~ Pete

    Hi Pete, are you saying that this feature could be some sort of a channel and deposition made it look as such like a slight heap?
