Martian Monolith Grave Yard - More IMAGES!
Other images of this area are of less quality,
but do provide more insight into what we are seeing.
M0202470 is a large image, but
shows what I believe are two of the blocks:

Gama Adjust to 1.7 Unsharpen Mask 40%
Radius 6 Resample 166%
On initial measurements of the block on the left, I
have the original at about 26 pixels wide: Scaled pixel width: 3.22
meters X 26 Pixels = 83.72 meters or 274.67 feet
Longitude of image center: 263.25°W Latitude of

Here's a version of CAL00077,
this is the first image of the Monoliths that I am aware of. In addition
to rotating this image 90 counterclockwise, I threw a little of everything
at this one, up to and including blending the dark edges to make them a
little more pronounced. I didn't add anything just enhanced what was
there.

Stay tuned for more images and further
analysis, I hope you have enjoyed a brief tour of what I feel is one of the most
significant areas of Mars.
