Curiosity: Potential Anomalies (Update 01/2014)

reply to post by ArMaP


sorry bad grammar there ..rephrase

there are a few artefacts , but the outlines are clearly visible (geometric rock outlines)

how goes ArMaP ?

hold on a sec.. .....im having a memory failure to any anomalies spotted by you over the last three months (have you spotted anything>? )

There are many artefacts, they cover more than 95% of the image, and some of those affect the outlines of the rocks.

No, but I have a different definition of anomaly, to me an anomaly is something that is considered not normal when compared with other things of the same type.

As promised a few pages back, here goes the free view (or cross eye) version of the sol 551 formation that I found to be quite different from the surroundings in several ways. My initial impression was confirmed after looking at it with the additional 3D effect and more depth:

Certainly looks like this area had been exposed to an aqueous environment for a longer period of time. In case nobody else sees anything of interest in that big chunk at the top, I'll certainly get back to this post and outline what I mean ...

Please tell us outright what you see and what drew your continued attention to this formation. Have at it, man! I'm looking forward to your analysis. Isn't this fun!

And ArMap, it sure sounds like you're actually ready to get off the sidelines and play the game fully. I can't wait for that, it's going to be very nice.

That picture has enough interesting things to spend a day on. nearly every rock there has something of interest.

Interesting shapes on these two rocks I think not sure. On in the bottom center and one to the right of that.

No problem, Aleister ... thought I could get someone to perhaps notice the same features without me highlighting it, but you're right: I might as well just go for it:


It may still be a trick of perspective, BUT ... I was referring to the more or less equally spaced holes in the lefthand section of that chunk. The middle part also seems to include a pattern (incl. a circular impression with an outline) which, IMO, would certainly have deserved a close up view.

P.S.: I didn't locate any hi-res images of logarithmic spiral formations as of yet, so apologies if I raised expectations beyond reason, but to me the formation above is very interesting nonetheless ...

I have been "playing the game" for 8 or 9 years, I just use slightly different rules.

I like your rules it gives me perspective. I like mine too though, if it looks like a cockroach...mark it, because someday they may say hey we found a cockroach on Mars! I will say...I saw that years ago what took you so long!!

That's why I never ignore a find, even if it looks like a rock.

Love the :O face! Yes interesting rock I wish it was close to the camera.

I know that, and felt bad about my terminology later. I, of course, meant that you may have seen things or be seeing things that we miss, and want to point them out more often. And that would be interesting. You have the long-view perspective on this stuff, and so if you see anything we are passing by, please stop and grab us by the shirttails and point. Thanks.

Don't worry, I will.

Does this rock have a spiral on it? Maybe it is just lines.




This looks odd to me also right of the center

roar,,, snarl roar ouch jpg artifacts? , snarl snarl, not them again ? I should see a dr about them , they might be contagious.

but I think you can see that the corner is not affected by the compression , its outline is easy to see , even with the compression artefacts , the rocks pointing right, one pointing towards and , although the blow up doesn't show it, continues down at a rough right angle one sec

Which one, that image is full of corners.

...continues down at a rough right angle

It's hard to know if it's a rough right corner when seen in perspective.

the more exploded one of the two



ide say that forms a rough right angle , and if it was hand crafted its not my place to judge the builders eye

are you seeing a ships figurehead in that mass?

I see quite a lot of anomalous features (image artifacts ,whatever) in the clearer image. Others say they are pixel compression, but these things I see are not seen on every rock. I would expect if it was image artifacts, that they would be more homogenous in distribution, and also they should not seem to attract only to the things that look out of place to begin with.. Image manipulation by the source people comes to mind with that observation as well, to me anyways..

I can see the pixel distortion zooming past the anomalous things, that distortion seems to look like it is below that level. This is using a viewer that magnifies the image instead of stretching the image like the default viewer in win 7 does.

Howabout carvings and symbols on any of these? Does anyone else see that.. just curious. (this doesn't mean I believe there are actually carved reliefs and symbols on these, just that they have this appearance.

Added: There is an object in this image on the far right about mid level verticle, that clearly shows "thorns" sticking out in several places like a clump of thorns. And a very long curved pointed thorn on the base of the object that appears to telescope out of a larger short cylinder shape..

Strange...:cheers

To me, that sentence makes no sense, sorry.
