Yeah not much spotting that's for sure. But in the last pic you can see some breaking of the stripes which kinda looks like some spots, spots or just broken stripes though, hard to tell and same difference right? lol But at the same time, no spots doesn't necessarily mean not a sv, I've seen marble sv's that if I didn't know they came from a reputable breeder, I'd have sworn they were Marble Bengals because as we know, there are no Marble Servals, so they obviously get their marble coats from their Bengal outcrossing. Same with Servalines, they don't usually have any spots either. The plot thickens lol Hopefully Tanessa is able to speak to the breeder directly and give us the entire scoop, because now I'm really curious! hehehe

Oh, but the Servalines do have spots...and very nice ones I might add;>) They are tiny spots but none the less ...spotted babies. I DO LOVE MY SERVALINE BABIES;>) LOL

the marble comes from an outcross, not a bengal outcross. Although..I do digress, there are now marble bengals just like there are marble savannahs...

I don't know anything about outcrossing since I'm owned and not a breeder. This makes me wonder what is Echo possible outcrossed with since he's a marble? I love his markings. :)

Early on Bengals were one of the breeds that were used to produce Savannahs. It is very possible and likely that the marble pattern is coming from the Bengal. Recessives are forever and if both parents carry for marbled patterns..you can get them. It does not mean that they are not Savannahs. The color is important if you wish to show. The thing is...non standard colors ....are considered ,,,non standard...for show only;>) With all the outcrosses used I am never surprised to see a non standard kitten born to two standard parents. It happens to every breeder out there;>)

I'm not sure if they are broken stripes or spots. In some pictures they look like broken up stripes, in some they look like spots. Near his hind legs they look more like spots and a little on his belly, maybe? Here are some pictures.. sorry, not the greatest...

I think I am seeing a spotted pattern along the spine rather than stripes, which would mean he has a spotted tabby pattern rather than a mackeral, or broken mackeral pattern. Here is a good illustration of the different tabby patterns: http://www.messybeast.com/spotted-cats.html
