SOL 487 Lure? was created by dude

I call this object "wild thing" because of it's strange appearance. I think I see an eyelet on the top which makes me wonder if this could be an old fishing lure. do you see what i'm talking about?

My first impression was some kind of crab, but it’s plainly not a crab.

If it is manufactured, then it is an odd-shaped piece. In the manufactured case, the irregular protrusions appear to be either corrosion build-up or perhaps the result of electrical activity like the build-up of particles amassing on a cathode(?) during electrolysis. These could be produced naturally too.

Well, that’s my 2 cents worth.

Some of those arms flailing around may actually be separate rocks on the other side of the object of interest. It's really hard to tell. If it's all one object, it's a strange looking thing.

This could be a real case of "a trick of light and shadow."

The sun is coming from the upper right. Looks like the "arm" on the right side at least is separate. It seems to be casting a shadow on the ground, which would put it in the background.

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!
