Hi,
Can someone give me the current theory on how these landforms were made? I attached pic.
They look like maybe carved out of ground rock from a side shooting lava blob but I dont know.
These ones were found south of maxwell but I have seen them sometimes other spots.
I might think they are splatters of hot rock that carved out of the flat local area but I am really guessing.
Whats the official theory?
thanks
