Sol 439, center image, right end of thick ridge-line. Right end of second boulder from the right.
Is this an image artifact? If not, then what is it?

No, it's a rectangular separation or break and it looks pretty precise.

How could this have formed naturally? I can't figure it out.

Good question. It comes down to it being either a random coincidence or an engineered effect. Could the basalt have cracked like that from elemental effects, like water flow? Maybe.
If it did, it turned out coincidentally rectangular. I think it's less fantastical to say it was engineered that way. Here is a wider view of the rover approaching "Cooperstown" from sol 438.

Upper image. Far right end of left ridge. Top.
Is this a shadow? It looks pretty square---ish to me.

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!
