Sure looks like coastal land. I remember a sci-fi movie where astronauts got stranded on Mars and these " fish like " things swimming in the sand . I would guess sand has a liquid quality ove time.

Keep in mind, these images were taken from a much higher altitude than what will be final orbiting altitude. I believe the image was taken from an altitude 1549 miles, 6 times higher than the operating altitude and still only 2.49 meters per pixel.Sowndbyte wrote:The photo appears over exposed to me. creating a false sheen on the surface.
notice on left sides of craters where sun is hitting surface straight on there is no texture only glare. this is the first photo and very tempting in detail (2.5 M per pixel) and I look forward to the final evolution cycle photos. but this lacks the pure power that the first Mars photo the rover Spirit took http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/ ... 0106c.html
