I just looked and it's probably manmade. The curiosity rover has been drilling holes and collecting samples.  :dunno:

Probably. I don't see any rover tracks near there but perhaps it has a robotic arm and stretched out

There's a lack of perspective for size. The hole is small, about half an inch wide and two inches deep, and the rover does have an arm.  :orly:

One could only hope the smaller the hole the cuter they are.  :zoinks:

The size would appear to preclude its being a remnant of volcanism, my best guesses would be either a micrometeorite impact, or it's being  manmade, should be easy enough to find  out if it is manmade though, by cross-matching the region with areas that automated rovers are known to have operated in. Although of course, if it is in such an area, it would be difficult to guess  which, without very precise data,

I have no idea why, but I've read that post a couple of times and each time I think it says "it's probably marmalade".

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.
