check Curiosity Sol 1455: Embedded Feature Within Butte

8 years 2 months ago - 7 years 7 months ago #6342 by Todd
Embedded within the separation or fracture of this horizontally layered landform is a vertical pillar-like feature. To the right of that, a square section that resembles a stone wall, slightly lighter in tone than the surrounding materials. Is this evidence of support construction or just a section of accumulative minerals which have inhabited the fault over time? There also appears to be a clean 90° corner cut in the grey object on the left. Enlargement below.

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!
