Re: [Texascavers] Martian pits
Would dessication of a conglomerate result in sinkholes? It sure does not look like any kind of an impact crater or window into a lava tube. To me it looks a lot like a good old sinkhole created with hydraulic erosion. -WaV On 10/5/07, Mixon Bill wrote: > > Interesting photos, blown up and enhanced.

[Texascavers] Martian pits
Interesting photos, blown up and enhanced. It looks like there's a relatively thin, hard layer of rock, presumably lava, over a deep mass of looser material that has been sapped out from below somehow. Doesn't look like a window into a lava tube, because the deeper stuff doesn't look like solid material. Hard to judge depth (even if I knew the scale), because it isn't really obvious that the bottom is seen. -- Mixon - Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
