A unique knob or dome, partially made up of light rectangular sections, appears in this MRO HiRISE image taken of the knobby terrain near Scandia Colles.

Odd pattern there, almost a basket weave. I also noticed two outlying concentric rings around the knob. Is that a shadow of a standing tower on the middle-left, low on the outermost ring? Nice find!

Jointed volcanic basalt columns are a real possibility. They have already been discovered on Mars by HiRISE . Some unusual looking stuff at the base, though.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
