Unique Objects Grouped Together in Sol 364 Mastcam Images was created by Todd

Here are two images taken by Curiosity's Left mastcam on Sol 364 which show a group of unusual objects on the Martian surface sitting together. The composite image below shows a strange roundish object that appears as if its interior may be hollow and packed with martian sand. Sitting next to that object on the right are two curved slabs with some regular rectangular notches present, along with what looks like a character or design. Other objects nearby appear to have some kind of patterning present on the surface. The two frame composite image below was processed from the PDS raw DRCL .img file, enlargements below.

I updated the images in the original post, they were a little muddy.

WOW Todd, those are great finds. looks like they could almost be reassembled. I assume the dark vertical cylinder was the base.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
