Did ice ever go that far south in an earlier ice age? One of the things any visitor to Yosemite is familiar with, is what they call "glacial erratics", or large boulders that have been dropped far from their origin, by the ice flow.

Here's an example from Cairgorms, UK.

You have a fair and rational question. As far as I know the last ice age reached as far south as the middle of Washington State. Having existed in Bakersfield (not lived), I cannot imagine ice in that area. But that is a personal bias.

By the way Larry Burford, I have attempted to violate TANSTAAFL many times. Never succeeded.

As a change of pace while I gear up for my next round of face postings, I find it interesting that the much vaunted Yucatan Crater that supposedly extincted the dinosaurs on Earth is not much bigger than the run of the mill (size wise) crater on Mars, and there are hundreds--or thousands of them (I haven't counted them).

Here's the well known Gusev Crater in a Mola section map. It's around 150 km dia. to the Yucantan's 200. Also interesting about the Gusev is that you can see obvious evidence of water. The channel is either flowing into or out of the crater, either as a result of the water dump proposed in the EPH, or an outflow as the impact was made in or near a once existing body of water.

My first impression is that water flowed into the crater via this channel. The land to the south is higher, and it looks like the crater wall on the north west side was washed away. There is no clear channeling to the north west, but large parts of that area might already have been underwater at the time.

There are some shorter flow channels (south west of the crater) that also lead from the higher yellow areas to the lower green areas.

Agreed.

Viewers also note that I just added some info to M2100050 "Ugly Woman" post above.

Image width (of strip) is 2.93 km. That makes the face with hair about 1 km wide. Pixel width is 2.87, which is decent resolution for the MOC. The JPL censors must have missed this 2001 image because what's right next to it is blocked out. It is in the West Candor Chasma, just north of the Valles Marineris, aprox. 74W, 5S.

Do I have any evidence to support that outrageous statement? I submit two pieces of evidence: 1-There are no 1998 images with blocked out sections, (to my knowledge they don't use film in the traditional sense, so why would they need to block out sections as if running out of film?) 2-I hates coincidences. That looks an awfull like her kid she's holding up for us to see ,under that blocked out section. (Correction, the W Candor Chasma is part of the Valles Marineris system.)
