The striations are grooves. Like God ran his finger nails across it. Or a
plow was
unleased on the surface. They even penetrate and go over craters. Something
made
those features after some meteor activity. What a geologic mystery.
Faulting doesn't
even explain it. It's the best shot ever of a Martian moon. Incredible.

The striations are grooves.

See: http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/planets/capt...ars/phobos.htm

The grooves seem to radiate in all directions from the giant
Stickney crater and converge on the opposite side of the satellite
at a region close to the Stickney antipode. The grooves are best
developed near Stickney, where some measure 700 m (2307 ft) across
and 90 m (294 ft) deep. However, most of the grooves have widths
and depths in the 100 - 200 m (330 - 650 ft) and 10 - 20 m (33 -
65 ft) ranges, respectively.

And I whole heartedly agree--It's incredible.

Thanks for posting the original link to the Phobos image, Mike.

An awesome photo. What is known about Phobos' composition? Are we
looking at space weathering? Was it blasted out of Hellas Basin?
And most importantly, does it contain any OIL?

I never met an "antipode" I didnt like.
Especially the green eyed furry ones.
Maldum fornax in.
Antipode out.

Could we simply be looking at a small section of the crust of
something much larger? It looks much more like "weathered"
sedimentation than externally caused damage to me. The coasts are
strewn with very similar rocks. But on a microscopically smaller scale
of course. Catastrophic breakup of a larger sedimented body later
captured by Mars gravity field? Don't other planet's moons show the
same grooving? Some of Neptune's moons?

Don't chuck any rocks this way! Just thinking aloud. :-)

Take your childish attitude somewhere else. Wormley contributes more to this
group in one message than you have in a year of snotty, petulant whines.
