The Richat Structure, also known as "The Eye of the Sahara".
Located in Mauritania, the structure is about 50 km in diameter. It was initially thought to be the result of an impact event because large meteors typically produce circular features on Earth's surface. But geologic studies have revealed that it is actually an uplifted geologic dome, also known as a domed anticline.
You sure it is just not the planet's largest Ammonite fossil?
ReplyDeleteScientists find some interesting stuff and have all manner of explanations for their finds. I don't believe that they know half as much as they'd like us to think they do.
ReplyDeleteEcaaaactly,,!
DeleteExactly, that is!
DeleteIt looks to me like a strip mine.
ReplyDeleteWhy would a geologic dome have so many concentric circles?
ReplyDeleteBut why is it a spiral? Follow the lines of the ridges and it spirals inward (or outward, depending on where you start).
ReplyDeleteCheck it out on Google Earth. This is greatly enhanced, probably photoshopped, and isn't even close to the actual appearance.
ReplyDeleteSo it's not Aliens? Not sure zIam buying this.
