I mean you can see the striations from the wind exactly where the flat sides of the rock are. Yes, Mars has wind, and rock dust.

Another pyramid for landing spacecraft owned by the face on Mars?

Sand dune on desert planet looks like sand dunes found in desert. More at 11.

It is interesting mind you, although obviously not deliberate in any way. It's interesting because if you wanted to use existing geology to excavate a base into, that would be a very useful place to do it without having to go underground. Just for reference, my background in geology, astrophysics and engineering is that I've played Minecraft a couple of times lol

It would be tempting to assume there's nothing much of note happening on Mars

Yes, too many people are lured by the fantasy of Mars being boring and lifeless.
