That unusual crack with the sharp pieces of rock at sides extends a good way into the crater:

I know this most likely is a non-issue for the formation of the razorbacks, but with these ones especially, its interesting to see them parallel to the slope going down into the crater.

Its quite possible, from what they've said already about their possible origin, that their formation was based on a vertical action through the column of rock, but it is interesting to see the width of the gap between them the further down into the crater they get, as well as the consistantly smooth dust thats sitting in the 'crack' between sides of the razorback.

The ones closer to the top of the crater, that were visible from the site of the rattings above their current position, were imaged in full series color and downlinked yesterday.
