Curiosity Sol 924: Just a Mineral Vein? was created by Todd

There are a lot of anomalous features within and around the mineral vein. Frequently there are rectangular holes and notches present within the vein, some of them resemble usb ports. In some cases, the vein forms bulges that look more like artifacts of some kind. A good example is the left and right mastcam images taken of the vein on sol 924. Below is a four frame composite made from sol 924 right mastcam pictures. I processed the images from the PDS raw DRCL .img files.

Below, an enlarged example from the right mastcam image above.

Below, the left mastcam was first to take an image of the feature from a different angle as it was approaching on sol 924.

The materials in the vein are pretty diverse.

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!
