Thank you. The lower right hand corner seems to be quite busy. I wish I had better eyesight.

No problem at all Marty, I will when I get time try to take a closer look and pull some detail out - I'll get back to you on this one!

Any other sol's etc.. just send me a PM or leave a message in here

As for fossils.....

Is this a fossilized shell? I thought Composite item, but the center looks like calcification

I didn't realize, but it's been quite well covered here ~

In October 1957 I watched Sputnik pass over.
In August of about 1963 I was sitting in my old mans outhouse about 11 pm with the door open when an meteorite went over my head. It wasn't far off the ground and it hit in the rolling hills about 25 miles west of me. I don't think it was ever found.
I had all but forgotten about that until I was in a town one day 30 years later that had a large foundry that melted scrap metal and I caught a whiff of the smoke coming out of the stacks.
Instant flashback to what that meteorite smelled like. Exactly the same smell.
Hard to keep this short Gents but my life has been skyward and full of wonder.

To the Gigapan men -- my hat is off to you. Wow - what a thrill it is to be allowed to view your works and even more so to be allowed to give an opinion of what I feel is a significant observation.
Do not ever stop what you are doing.

Well said, Marty.

Yeah, the right hand sides have some interesting things. Does anybody else wish those gigapans would go in a step or two closer?? It's always disappointing when you hit the last enlargement.

Once again, Marty, I agree with you.

Personally I think it's a metallic craft on its side in a state of destruction strune across the right hand corner... I can try and make the image bigger but it's hard to get the right filtering to keep clarity... I'll have a play - One thing for sure; there are lots opf odd geometric structured objects in that sol
