I thought the same of these photos, and more of the broader view, third image.? Maybe someone here can respond to my TAG-NET comments on the photos.
Roger <<Thanks to Frank Bogle for posting these enhanced pictures.?I'm especially intrigued by the last (and largest scale) image showing both pits and the surrounding region.?It appears that the larger (leftmost) pit is at the apex of a fan-shaped depression extending to the right and out of the field of view of the photo.?This is curious in itself. Equally interesting, and maybe related, is the alignment between the two open pits and four amorphous depressions that form a line arcing upward and to the right within the larger fan-shaped depression.?The four amorphous depressions are relatively ill-defined in that they lack the sharper walls of meteor craters and they are asymmetrically shaped.?They look to me like they might be dust-mantled collapse features. Could they? represent collapses along a lava tube segment or at least somehow be related to the dramatic, open pits? Any vulcanologists out there to enlighten (= shoot down) my speculations?
