MARS STRANGE BIO-LIFEort #145

The images are just the third image flipped vertically and the fifth image provides a closer look at the pits.
Note how the pits now appear to be closer to the back edge of the trough and elevated despite the smudge
applications. Of course the flipping did not eliminate the smudge tampering. What it is hiding is a slightly elevated raw
cliff face and subduing the elevated thin rim wall look of the pits. The pits are actually snuggled up against this cliff
face as elevated formations and that is what they didn't want us to see.

The only thing correct about the official explanation is the presence of the fault line. It represents a division between
slightly higher elevation terrain in the upper right of these 4th and 5th images and slightly lower settled terrain in the
lower left. The fault line has created a short height drop down cliff between the two terrain levels all along the length of the fault line. Ground water flows into this fault location from the upper right terrain but it is not a particularly
strong flow and has at times been absent requiring the life form to dig deeper in the fault.

Reliable water presence in the fault is the attraction for the pit formation life to concentrate along the fault line.
The sheer size of the pits suggests that they have been in this particular location for a very long time and that
the water presence is fairly consistent and reliable over longer periods of time even it there have been some lean
times. The small size of the ridge forms (relative to the huge ones in the second image) also present here suggest
that on occasion there is some water overflow that the big pits allow to get past them but it isn't consistent enough
to result in any significant spurt of the larger ridge form development.

The above 6a–6c images demonstrate some large holes in this strip's terrain that do have pooling flat level water presence filling their bottoms. These are likely ancient in dryer time pits that encountered too much water influx and the pit life presence is now long gone because it cannot survive in formations discussed here in deeper pooling water. Note the absence of any pits forming even at the hole edges to take advantage of this water presence. That's because this life form cannot survive immersed in deeper pooling liquid water. If I had enough image room here to show you a much closer view of the holes of water, you would see the water is actually ice as the time this image was taken.

The above eighth and last image shows quite a few ridge forms developing in this rough terrain. Out of sight to the
far right is a very large impact crater very deep hole that significantly influences the terrain in this scene.
To the left is higher ground and to the right is lower ground gradually sloping down to and over the edge of this
great hole.

Note that the ridge forms parallel orientation are all in the same direction despite the fact that there are a number of
different larger and smaller formations. That is because shallow water, too little to be seen in this distant imaging and
most of it underground, is flowing both underground and across some of the surfaces from left to right. Where the
underground water surfaces temporarily before going back in the ground, the ridge forms develop on short slopes
taking advantage of it.
