The Gordii Dorsum "wall system" is amazing. This is the NASA wallpaper image..

Today I found my way to much larger JP2 files that are a bit of a pain to convert and are massive. The full JP2 file is over a gigabite. I did not realize the section of walls visible in the wallpaper image is just a very small part of a much larger system of wall tens of kilometers wide. Here are a few slides I've taken to give you an idea of the detail.

Found this odd looking sediment layer/wall/sheet. Not sure what to call it or what is the correct perspective.

It can be found using Hiview at coordinates x 18942 y 33556

Another curiosity. Here is a section of the wall. There are gaps where blocks have become dislodged and there is evidence of debris that presumably was once part of the ridge/wall. But what is interested is that there appears to be a line or rim that in sections runs along both sides of the wall. This is nicely shown by the block of stone in the centre of this image with a two thin lines/ridges running from opposite corners. It could be natural but doesn't look very natural.

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!
