Curiosity: Potential Anomalies (Update 01/2014)

a reply to: Rob48

Well, if they aren't doing it on the macro-fossil scale, we sure are giving them some examples to look at.

a reply to: Rob48

well twist away , wherever your from it will be a long day in hell before I give you another retort.

look up the word initial. apply it
they weren't looking for fossils in the beginning, they were searching for elements pertaining to life ,via spectral analysis , fossil hunting via elemental indicators ,not via photos..

as for the mission status you linked.. I see no mention of fossils

again finding something that looks like a fossil/remains and with enough photos to confirm its outline. shape, would make the other results look redundant in answering the question to Mars's habitability status past/present

so yeah find someone else to contort/ twist ..smells like bad intentions to me

I did this stuff way back in 2007 lol!1 Some kind of body of a fish or whatever I found. www.abovetopsecret.com...

it is right in the middle of this picture alsmost ..a little bit down to the right.. marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov...

BUMP!! Like I said.. I've been there and done that. I found the best!! So?? Now what??

How about somebody find a better Mars picture than me

Nice work. So I guess we're done here. Mods, can you close the thread.

and missout on the pyramids

just noticed from the same pic a weird hole/shadow.. martian moles?

I don't think I ever did an animated GIF of that photo, so here it is.

What's weird about a rock's shadow?

a reply to: ArMaP

maybe its the curved rock right next to it that draws my eye, cant be more specific than that unfortunately , its something that keeps snagging me each time I look at the picture

did you make a panorama of this region yet ? on the other pictures that came with this set there are other pointy type large rocks , albeit not quite as the one illustrated above , would this be the beginning of the butes perchance?

Something with some kind of tentacles on it:

Faint, but interesting to me:

Maybe something like this:

As I've said before, it's obvious they're not looking for the same things I am. They're in a hurry to get to the mountain before the machine breaks down.

I think to some degree that they're automatically dismissing the potential fossil shapes because they're convinced that if life existed on Mars it wouldn't have had time to develop into anything large and complex, so the shapes are all just natural erosion features that just coincidentally look like fossils. They could be right.

Look at other rocks that are more or less in the same position, like the larger rock at the bottom centre of the image.

did you make a panorama of this region yet ?

Not yet, I have been having problems with my Internet connection at home (and too much work at work), but as the technicians from my ISP have just left after correcting whatever was wrong, I hope I can get back to my normal download habits.

Image number one is highly interesting and probable, a possible historic find IMO. All the rest look like various geological formations IMO. I don't understand why number one was not investigated further by NASA. All IMO based on cartographic and photo interpretation experiences working on the NASA Apollo programs, and in particular the 'Lunar Landing Missions'.

regular animal farm on that pic Blueshift , did you also see the little mirrored broken square shaped things too ?

that high sun catching me out again , the one in the middle makes it more apparent, it seems to be showing more highlighted rock that mildly gradiates to shadow , it top much more clearly visiblemore definable as a rock .. the other not so much *thinner shaped *?

so do I , your panoramas are worth pouring over , gives that wide field perspective of the landscape, im sure im seeing a field a pyramids

for I know they could be the teeth of a giant carnivore

I like finding clusters of the same kind of anomalous (to me) features. Just like on Earth, I would expect any kind of Martian life to hang together in batches, rather than be separately lying somewhere all alone. The landscape is pretty torn up, but if at one point it had a kind of stable marine environment, then similar life forms would grow in bunches in the same place, or at least at the same levels.

a reply to: Blue Shift

an example being that last big broken slab/rock from a page back , similar shaped patterns, yet eroded into difference , as one would expect too given the ballpark time frames and the potential stable periods when life could evolve *given that evolutionary theory is the same on different planets, or works to an approximation of that theory , planetary variables withstanding* , but indeed , its what you would expect , would be interesting to come across a martian equivalent of an elephants graveyard ..

My last panorama was this one, from Sol 647, that I just uploaded to GigaPan.

Edited to add a link to the white balanced version of the above panorama.

Hey thanks ArMap!! That is way cool!!



It looks like its winking lol!! But , cool in all aspects non-the less !
