I have been wondering why the "Horned Face" preferred by the
news media was so different from the 3-D reconstruction sans
"horn," since both were produced by the same organization. So I
looked at the image credits for both.
What evidently is the more accurate enhancement without the
"horn" is at: http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEM9WG8LURE_index_1.html#subhead1
The "Horned Face" is at: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEM09F8LURE_1.html
The credit printed on the more accurate reconstruction is: ESA/DLR/FU Berlin (G. Neukum) But for the Horned Face, the credit printed on the image is: ESA/DLR/FU Berlin (G. Neukum). MOC (Malin Space Science Systems). It looks like Dr. Malin or his colleagues might have "helped" ESA create a 3-D reconstruction that looks the way he wants it to look while the ESA people, without his expert assistance, merely created a reconstruction that shows the landform the way it really looks.
