Yep that's one of them. But if you like that you are going to LOVE this one
which has moved from right to left of image! A huge boulder that has skipped
across the surface and up an incline at the end while rolling around a
crater rim. If you trace it back to the start you could "hypothesize" that a
recent and relatively large impact is what caused the boulder to move from
it's original spot. (There is another smaller one just below it which may or
may not be related.) The crater and two skipping lines all similarly show
lighter coloured soil.

Thanks for sharing that Darren. I took a look at the main image. There are
many such 'moving boulders' visible across it with many much longer than
the
one mentioned in the blog. Some are even large arcs. Fascinating stuff.

I see what you mean. I downloaded the full-resolution TIF (5064x29696,
143 MB)
and found this one (contrast adjusted to make it stand out more)
