Fake...I looked at this in PS and the pixilation doesnt match the rest of the photo, this was dropped in from a smaller resolution. Nice try.

Not sure what you are talking about stinkhorn, the image is from NASA's site, I suggest you download the IAS viewer software and examine the image yourself. These are the coordinates to the "building"...

X: 8979 Y: 15327

Thanks everyone for the great debate on this find, Its really satisfying to find something interesting after hours and hours of pouring over these HR images with a fine toothed comb.

One thing I would like to point out about the image, which in my opinion is stone (whether it is intelligently designed or natural) either way is amazing.
If the the stone was carved by wind, it would in all likelihood be rounded on the edges, but it clearly is not rounded. If it is natural, then it would make sense there would be like rocks nearby, which there clearly is not. Extreme wind mixed with sand creates a sandblasting effect over millions of years. These winds tend to alter direction from time to time, thus rounding ythe corners on every side. This has not occurred on this structure.

One guess I would make is that perhaps it was recently unearthed (or unmarsed I guess would be the correct term lol) and therefor has not been exposed to the elements in the last few hundred years.

If it were in fact carved by liquid water, then this in itself would be a huge discovery, as the debate of liquid water on mars is ongoing.

Or of course it could be the capstone of an enormous buried pyramid.

Thanks for finding the post, but you would have done well to include natural crystal formations as a possible answer.

It's much more plausible than "A Building"

Your talking about earth, not mars.
Not everything is like earth.

Yes, you understood it right.

At 27.4 centimetres per pixel, we just have to count the pixels.

Totally agree with you. I've got some of these crystal formations at home. But check all these images out. These are naturally forming rocks.

Iron Pyrite Cube


Odd naturally formed causeway


Naturally formed Octahedral Diamond

It depends on who believes that they are natural.

If the ones who believe that they are natural are people that study rocks and the natural processes involved then I think it more likely that they are really natural than if the ones believing are people that know nothing about rocks.

And that is the problem (well, one of the problems) with the Internet, the fact that all data is available does not make us experts.

PS: I have been looking at that photo and I saw that there are more angular stones on that area, a little to the left and a little down from the place of the "building".
