Another Stonehenge Discovered Under Lake Michigan?

Scientists, using Sonar to search for signs of shipwrecks at the bottom of Lake Michigan, found something else:

Is this a freak of nature, or did humans place those stones 10,000 years ago, when the lake bed was dry? Researchers intend to find out.

Neat.

The stones look kind of randomly arranged, at least according to that picture. But who knows? Certainly not impossible that it's human-designed.

EDIT: Oh I saw the Mastodon-y carving in the associated press article. Interesting. Maybe it's a neanderthal's tribute to critically-acclaimed metal outfit Mastodon:

It looks like the top view of a sunken buoy in the middle.

Appears to be random to me. What is the area size of the sample? The size of the rocks? Do neighboring areas display the same topography or are they barren? All critical questions.

What an UGLY sonar pic. Call the navy to sweep it with some quality side scan sonar!

These are good questions. I would only add that I would like to see these from the side. Are they standing on end, and how tall are they?

I will get on it. I hope they can spare some man-power.

Call up HM15 and ask them for a few sweeps with the AQS-14 Fish. I used to do bottom mapping using that sonar, let me tell ya what.. we'd know what those were in two passes.

Then I'll relieve my self of operational commander and you can do this.
