In HiRISE image, ESP_034362_1405 , of the Hellas Montes region, there appear to be several sections of uncovered multi leveled structures which appear generally quadrilateral. Some have the appearance of Native American Indian ruins complete with entrances. Some of the structures resemble ruined skyscrapers as they appear to have multiple levels. Examples below.

Below, enlarged from the above crop.

Wow! Did you find these? Great find! I will have to get these and do a orbit video. I haven't done a video from the air in awhile!

Thanks!

The craters referenced by the image page also have unique structures in them which they refer to as "layered deposits."

I guess it would be negligent to not post the main crater in this thread. Here is a portion of it from the merged MP IRB color version of ESP_034362_1405 , with two enlargements below. The grid patterns on the crater landforms are fairly prominent.

Very nice find, I echo everybody else. I downloaded the color version, sometimes that helps me pick things out. Thanks Todd!

Yes, the color versions can cut down the contrast a little.

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!
