Curiosity Sol 1262 Composite was created by Todd

This is a four frame composite made from a series of right Mastcam images taken on sol 1262. A hill or plateau, with target " Khommabes ," is pictured near the rover in the "Pahrump Hills" while on the drive to "Naukluft," Site 52/2772 . I noticed the outcrop part of the ridge has some pretty unusual textures and formations for " bedrock. " The images were processed from the PDS raw DRCX .img files.

Those stratified rocks, which seem to be ubiquitous on Mars, look very brittle and would likely split very easily.

Sure, I think the stratified rocks in Gale Crater are that way because they've seen a lot of water and silt.

I'm not a geologist, but yes, I think you're correct.

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!
