Curiosity Sol 1363 Mastcam Image was created by Todd

This image was taken by the right mastcam on sol 1363. I am not sure what to make of this kind of sample. It could be shale sedimentary rock with clay minerals in between the layers, which I think would point to a Mars with a lot of wind, water, ice and possibly sea life. However, the sample appears intricate with a lot of holes and something of a square compartment close to the center, among other visual oddities, making me wonder if this is some kind of artifact or an artifact preserved in the stone record. The image was processed from the PDS raw DRCL .img file, 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!
