good seeing the rest of the monkey hasn't taken anything from the illusion ,stands out . or squats , like a monkey taking a dump in the desolates* of Mars

quite a few oddities in the bigger picture
nice Panorama

from this set

1033 mast

I found a little Martian sand lizard that has just eaten a huge cricket. Or the cricket thing is his home which he uses to cunningly await his prey.
Or it is a few rocks. Cool though.



Cute lizard linky

Bet it has already been found but I searched quite a bit, these are some long threads in here.

I took this off a gigapan here but linked the Nasa link as well.

Gigapan

looks like the bastard child of Godzilla and one of the sluggy genus,, great find

There is even a chicken drumstick on there somewhere lol. They must be munching like kings!

a reply to: Jonjonj

did you notice the odd figures in the lower left hand corner ? almost adult sibling like, a mere impression

also a circular looking shadow in the upper right centre, seems out of place-ish

far left middle something ...would have to image it , no really explainable

a reply to: funbox

I had seen the far left one but I thought it was my computer screen or an artefact from the colouring, these are false colours right? I don't actually know lol, but if they aren't then those bluish tones seem odd.
The hole I just thought shadow what do you think? The area is full of interesting things for sure!

Here is the chicken drumstick!!! And just for good measure there is a spanner below and to the left a little.




Gigapan sol 1033

They are at the bottom of the gigapan about 4/5 of the way to the right. Can't find the nasa pic.

a reply to: Jonjonj

raw jpgs , unprocessed and un white balanced



best spanner ive seen so far

that chicken drumstick looks as if its two materials ..interesting

itll be in mast 1033 somewhere but it doesn't look like a stitching artefact

that cricket thing just a tiny bit above and to the right of the center of the picture contains structure that I haven't seen in Mars pictures before. Has anyone seen that kind of thing, and symmetrical to boot. Great find, thanks.

a reply to: Aleister

It certainly stood out to me as at least not the most common type of rock. It almost appears to be hollow so of course, because I haven't got a geological bone in my body I thought pupa type thingy.
Anyway, glad I could find something of interest for you guys, you have had me fascinated since the old thread.
You chaps all do stellar work.

Tis an odd duck, this. Upon seeing this some geologists will point and swoon, a few will retroactively retire to become recluses, others shall find religion in a bottle. With this find you are doing stellar work.


Check out the structure on this thing. Then there is the shadow that indicates it is raised above the surface in "front". Are there other rocks involved in creating the "cricket" object in the image, or is it all one structure?

No, no false colours, the colours are as true as those from any common digital camera. What bluish tones are you talking about?

I don't understand what's the problem (if any) with the hole, could you explain what you mean? Thanks in advance.

the sky ?

a reply to: Aleister

Hey Aleister, the "cricket" does seem to be free of the surface doesn't it? It was the apparent structure that caught my eye. Once again, not having an idea of geology I wouldn't have an idea how it could be created but I am sure that if any rockhound ever gets to see it they will come to the correct conclusions. Even if they have to have a drink for an hour, they may thank us in the end lol. Maybe some air bubbles in lava or something? Or some type of fossilised plant life, that would be seriously cool.
Thank you for your kind words.

a reply to: ArMaP

Hello ArMaP, may I thank you for your gigapans which I have enjoyed tremendously.

No, no false colours, the colours are as true as those from any common digital camera. What bluish tones are you talking about?

The bluish tones are what my eyes perceive the image from the blow up, that Funbox made of the object in the far left of the picture, to have. To me it seems to have bluish banding, but as mentioned, I think it might be my computer.

I don't understand what's the problem (if any) with the hole, could you explain what you mean? Thanks in advance.

There is absolutely no problem with the hole, as I mentioned, I thought it was just a shadow anyway. The comment about interesting was related to the whole gigapan and not just that capture.

This one?

Thank you, I couldn't seem to find that one.

What is, if any, your opinion on how this structure could have been formed?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe this will help.
