Curiosity Rover Sol 324: Unique Samples at "Shaler" 4 was created by Todd

These are two composites and a single frame from Mastcam images taken on sol 324 in "Darwin." It shows a closer view of the materials seen in the sol 315 Mastcam images at "Shaler" 4.

The thin blue sample has some odd characteristics, hard to tell if it's sedimentary, basalt or something else entirely. The outcrop sample looks metallic in appearance and is likely tough on rover wheels.

The images were processed from the PDS raw DRCX .img files.

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!
