Very interesting column like formations in Mars rocky Mountains !

A picture taken with the Curiosity Rovers extra zoom enhancement tool of far away mountains of Mars. In the cliff like stone walls of those mountains there can be seen some very interestin column like structures craved into the stone, much like The Petra Castles on Earth, Jordan.

What do you guys think ?

They look very much like fairly ordinary sedimentary rock structures, so nothing exceptional but still very interesting geologically.

The arch-like feature in the centre seems to be a scar left by a slab peeling away.

@Convivial It could be, but its more possible that those formations are ruins of an ancient civilisation called Aw Anki !

@Parlisa possible, but highly unlikely...i prefer to run these kinds of questions through Occam's razor..
