Still looking at a massive JP2 file of the Gordiii Dorsum region. You can download it from this link.

But it may take some time.

Maybe found a pyramid.. As the file is so big you will not find it easily without some pointers.

It sure looks like one. It also looks as if it could be a giant capstone that has slid down off an even larger structure.

Maybe there is a structure.. The angle of the two visible straight lined features is 90 degrees.

Three sided at that. I wonder how large it is?

Size is difficult to estimate but I think the visible pyramid (3 sided as you point out) is probably only a couple of metres across and about the same tall. But there is a lot of sand so we don't know how much is hidden beneath.

The MP scale says 25 cm/pixel and the object is around 55 pixels in diameter. I get close to 13.75 meters or about 45 feet in diameter roughly.

I noticed Todd the image you posted has much better resolution than I managed. Which file did you download? I'm also using Irfanview, if that makes a difference?

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!
