The absence of any impact features at any scale here is just amazing.

Wow...well spotted, Stu.
The quantity of space imagery being released these days that I don't have time to look through is both marvelous and depressing --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Remarkable; thanks, Stu!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that an island in the middle of the channel? Hmmm exp hmmmm.... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Gale still gets my uneducated MSL vote. It's just more spectacular than the others.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that an island in the middle of the channel? Hmmm exp hmmmm.... I could explain the lack of impact features to myself, since this is a small area presumably on a crater wall. But an island seems really interesting. Gale still gets my uneducated MSL vote. It's just more spectacular than the others. Is this actually Gale, or is it Hale? I saw a gullies in Hale image posted, didn't see Gale yet. |

Gale still gets my uneducated MSL vote. It's just more spectacular than the others. I agree. I'm particularly concerned about Ebrswalde which I fear looks enticing on a macro scale but like Gusev it could become a disappointment (the serendipitous Columbia Hills notwithstanding), possibly hard sandstone maybe even overlaid with some kind of cap-rock obstruction. I like Gale but I also think the likely breathtaking scenery at Holden would be something to keep Stu's inkwell stirred. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

"Baby" gully on a new HiRISE image..? I'm certainly no geologist, but I agree with your interpretation of that. Definitely would be nice to get a second image of it later. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

If it's a "baby" gully, it's been a baby for quite a while. The sand ripples evident in the image seem to have conformed to the dip into the linear depression. If this feature were a new gully that is just beginning to form, you wouldn't expect that there would have been time for such conformal ripples to have formed along the topography.
