Coprates_Labes_Canyon-Tra_000849_1675_red~0.jpgCoprates Labes (possible True Colors; credits: Lunar Explorer Italia)108 visiteCoprates Labes is a Martian canyon, part of the huge Valles Marineris System. Valles Marineris most likely formed through tectonic processes, with extensional stresses leading to collapse of the terrain that now lies at the base of the canyons. Filling most of this image, we see a raised block on the canyon bottom, which is quite possibly a horst—a block bounded by faults that separate it from sunken blocks on each side. The raised block is heavily eroded, possibly by wind; this erosion has exposed its internal layering, especially at the Southeastern margin of the block.
Here we see asymmetric erosion features with shallow slopes trailing off to the North-West, suggesting that southeasterly winds dominate the flow through this Region. The arrangement of dunes and ripples in the lower right portion of the image confirms this prevailing wind direction.
Finally, dark-toned material appears to have flowed from North-East to South-West along the block, possibly moving in a very fluid debris flow. MareKromium

Coprates_Labes_Canyon-Tra_000849_1675_red~1.jpgUnusual Landforms or...Something more?!?159 visiteUn ottimo lavoro di osservazione ed estrapolazione realizzato dal nostro caro Amico e Socio Lorenzo Leone ci riporta ad una (ormai) annosa e vexata questione: alcuni rilievi di Marte, nella loro "stranezza", restano rilievi naturali o si tratta di remnants di strutture artificiali?
Voi, cari Amici, la nostra posizione la conoscete; ma per questa volta - e diremmo con buona ragione - ci piace citare Lorenzo:"...Prendendo in esame una delle ultime immagini pubblicate, Coprates Labes, mi sono voluto divertire analizzandola nel tentativo di catturare le forme più strane (e sicuramente più fantasiose), ma di sicuro interesse.
Le immagini parlano da sole: abbiamo 2 possibili piramidi ed un "fortino".
Un gioco di luci ombre, aiutato da oggetti particolari, ma fantasticare e analizzare non nuoce certamente.
Ed è certo che Marte, almeno per me, riesce sempre a stupire...".
E noi condividiamo al 100%!MareKromium

T-TRA_000849_1675_RED.jpgCoprates Labes55 visiteCoprates Labes is a Martian canyon, part of the huge Valles Marineris system. Valles Marineris most likely formed through tectonic processes, with extensional stresses leading to collapse of the terrain that now lies at the base of the canyons. Filling most of this image, we see a raised block on the canyon bottom, which is quite possibly a horst—a block bounded by faults that separate it from sunken blocks on each side. The raised block is heavily eroded, possibly by wind; this erosion has exposed its internal layering, especially at the southeast margin of the block. Here we see asymmetric erosion features with shallow slopes trailing off to the northwest, suggesting that southeasterly winds dominate the flow through this region. The arrangement of dunes and ripples in the lower right portion of the image confirms this prevailing wind direction. Finally, dark-toned material appears to have flowed from northeast to southwest along the block, possibly moving in a very fluid debris flow.
