I don't have any sense of the sedimentation rate on Mars from dust

the holes are young, but then, wouldn't you expect to see a range of
features of different ages? All these holes look about the same, pretty
round, clean top edge. There's nothing that looks like a cavern mostly
filled in. That sort of makes me think the features were all produced
around the same time, presumably not long after the caverns formed. But
who knows? It's all very curious, that's for sure!

It's almost preposterous. Just when the belts of Jupiter start really
misbehaving this thing shows up. This has to be one of the
strangest planetary images I've ever seen.
