Curiosity: Potential Anomalies (Update 01/2014)

reply to post by ArMaP

Thanks. Yes, it has a "Pnt Screen" button. I've never looked at I before, and if I've pressed it it was by accident. I'll play around with it at some point soon.

wanted to put Jeep's spoke potential from the same gigapan here again, as it is quite interesting and presented very well (by Jeep and by the sun).

Much appreciated, Aleister ... by chance, I stumbled across something that I would consider the closest match to something we also have on Earth (provided that the feature above is not just a reflection of the sun). Here's the back part of a fossilized cupuladriid bryzoan:

Fossils of tiny cupuladriid colonies reveal extinction can lag more than one million years after its cause

A new Smithsonian study that examines 10 million years of the evolution of tiny coral-like organisms called cupuladriid bryzoans has revealed that some species of this organism lingered on earth for more than one million years after the event that ultimately caused their extinction: the rising of the Isthmus of Panama. The extremely long period that elapsed between the rising of the isthmus and the actual disappearance of these animals is causing scientists to reassess the eventual impact modern habitat loss and environmental degradation may have on organisms whose populations have been reduced and are currently under stress.

The irregular outline with spokes and the roughly triangular fragment (centerish) from where the colonies regenerate does look a bit similar. Although very unlikely, I thought I'd just point to this analogy ...

It does indicate that nature has at least a blueprint for something like a spoke, if they existed on Mars. Thanks. Did you check out the other one, the one where you can likely see the outline if you darken the screen or tip the screen back until it darkens. And this one you found, I don't know what you mean by a reflection of the sun, it seems pretty solid and uniform around the edges, and just happens to be nicely lit by the sun (Thanks Sol!). When we get a few more of these really good examples it may be time to put a post together linking all of them. I think we've all found nice examples of the spokey in close up photographs now, but need a few more close ones to convince some people that there is an even one-percent chance that they are actually fossils of some kind of a past life form on Mars (I hold to my one-percent rule, that if a potential has a slight one-percent chance of being something, it's well worth the time we spend here diving into this former lake/sea).

Nor should you have. Both the u.s. and the illuminati have now found their true mascot/spirit animal.

By coincidence I got a report just this morning on that - the boat seems to have run aground a few times while trying to leave the dock. Here's a pic from the latest update, but they tell me it will be off and sailing again within "five, ten minutes".

The first image i clicked on tonight mars.jpl.nasa.gov...
some interesting stuff imo i.e fossils

'ran aground'?
looks like im going to have to send a fleet of fisherPrice harpooners , don't worry Aleister. I can help guarantee the voyage's safe journey

You saw the same as me funbox,i think they qualify as potential anomaly. The round one remands os a barnacle. Thanks for the zooms.

reply to post by symptomoftheuniverse


very well worn ones if they are a barnacle type creature, but then if they were stuck to the rock in more aquatic times, died and then erosion eroded away the top part , I think there would only be a C part left to see.. im also going to keep my eyes out for more O's ,but then, I think we've seen a few of them already.

just hada look , seems like a mega-influx at mastcam sol580

looks a little odd , kind of bonish in colour

You know, maybe it's something like those that will make a marine biologist, on his lunch break surfing the net and accidently coming upon this thread (he will have searched for "Mays anomalies", being a lifelong fan of American baseball great Willie Mays but, because of a mustard spill, have mistakenly typed a "r" instead of a "y"), spit up his coffee and run through the marine biologists facility with his computer (we've all been there) screaming "Look what somebody named funbox found, just look what funbox found!"

i wonder if a small committee will arise , the conservation and preservation of rock-life-forms, they might sit around discussing terrible attacks on other rockforms by other more hostile rockforms , maybe like this one ..

just bookmarked your link,my eyes are going to hurt lol.
I use this site for my pics curiosityrover.com... seems to work better on my phone.

If you look at this image again there is more anomoli at 6 and 7 oclock. mars.jpl.nasa.gov...

I Liked the straightforwardness of the site you linked , has a good search function there ,

erm found this while looking at 581 from that link

looks a bit familiar*

I really hate these chem cams , the contrast is terrible , adjust curves like crazy to try and bring out the details, the edges are a knightmare

Thats the top of the old clockface that stood above the square. Back to the future style. 21.1 gigawhats of anomolies.

21.1 giga-what ?



I want to see some giga colour

kinda like a mouse skull, or a jaw fragment

Something big broken off?
