I just wonder if this is gonna be another "Face on Mars" thing where another photo reveals that's not at all what the formation actually looks like.

NASA's saying it's some sort of remnant from a volcano.

All I could think was maybe it's a natural basin. It would make more sense that it was made by volcanic activity. The main difference between martian volcanoes and most the ones here on earth is supposingly a lack of plate tectonics. The molten rock pushed up from the core unhindered creating massive bulges and shield volcanoes like Olympus Mons. I wish an active volcano would be discovered. That would be news.
