Hello eriktheawful, here is a crop of MOC image SP1-25803, just above the Main Pyramid (rotated).
Notice the location of the half image of the square and compasses (The "Mark") just over the head of the dolphin.

Dolphin? I see a dog myself.
This is a good case of how terrain of an image causes Pareidolia.

Hi eriktheawful. If you were not aware, the origins of the word Pareidolia has nothing to do with how we interpret anthropomorphic or facial formations observed in nature or on the planet Mars. Pareidolia isn’t a common facial recognition phenomenon as promoted by so many "well informed" critics and skeptics that visit discussion boards in an attempt to dismiss the examination of pictographic and geoglyphic formations on Mars. In reality pareidolia it’s a rare metal disorder suffered by "crazy" people with delusional hallucinations that see faces everywhere. It has nothing to do with seeing recognizable facial features in rocks or tree trucks. The over used word “pareidolia” is associated with Hallucinations not projections. The word first appeared in an 1868 paper published in The Journal of Mental Science.
The recognition of facial and anthropomorphic features on the surface of Mars can be tested and confirmed by photographic evidence that can be taken over multiple time periods, not delusional hallucinations that just "appear" as defined by the original paper where the word pareidolia was first coined. Therefore when skeptics label every observation of face-like or anthropomorphic features on Mars as pareidolia, they are totally distorting the word with their own mental disorders.
For more information see: The Journal of Mental Science, Volume 13, Association of Medical Officers of Asylums and Hospitals for the Insane (London, England), Medico-psychological Association of Great Britain and Ireland, Royal Medico-psychological Association (Longman, Green, Longman & Roberts, Harvard University, 1868), p.238.

I understand what you mean, but the people who can't accept that there may be anomalous things in our solar system have been using Pareidolia as a tool to debunk everything, so they aren't concerned if the word's meaning has changed.. And the debunkers have certaintly abused the meaning of Pareidolia to suit their mindsets, I'm now wondering if their abuse of the actual meaning of Pareidolia has had an effect on the modern evolution of that word?

Freemasons are not allowed to engrave their secrets anywhere. So if this were real, it would be the martian vandals who did this.edit on 11-12-2013 by Skyfloating because: (no reason given)
In 1998 a square and compasses geoglyph was found over the head of the Main Pyramid Dolphin in MOC image SP1-25803 by a member of The Cydonia Institute.
