Sol 714 Composite: Ancient Martian Artifacts? was created by Todd

This is a composite made from two Curiosity left mastcam images taken on Sol 714, on the drive back to the "Hidden Valley" entry point. Once again, there appear to be fashioned objects possibly stone relief carvings. The objects in the enlargements at the very bottom look less like layered stone and more like carved artifacts sitting in a row. The images were processed from the PDS raw DRCL .img files.

Great find, Todd!

From that same mosaic just above and to the right of your stone carvings I'm seeing what look to me to be these shadow-boxy objects.

Very strange!

Nice composite images Todd! I was wondering if you could process the following Sol 710 images or send me a message on the steps to do so? Thanks in advance!

Yes, those are really nice and also on the drive back to the "Hidden Valley" entry point. All of sol 710 is pretty good. These threads might help you with raw image processing.

These images were taken by Curiosity's right mastcam on sol 710. I processed them from the PDS raw DRCL .img files.

Here's a closer view taken from Curiosity's right mastcam on sol 717. I processed this image from the PDS raw DRCL .img file.

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!
