Not sure what to make of this.
Here is the link to NASA pic:
mars.jpl.nasa.gov...
FYI: Count v4 lines over from the left of the pic and zoom in, you will see it too!

truly weird!I tried to find the original but I don't seem to know how, the panorama has enough weird stuff to keep me looking for months! I can't do anything with them though because i don't know how.

A fossilized broken bone looks a lot like a rock, which is basically what it is.

That's the biggest problem, a fossil is really a rock.

The best I can say is go to the URL. Look at the top edge of the picture and count 4 lines from the left side.
Put your cursor right at the top and click and zoom it, you'll see a small brown box, that is the object.

the shadow on it is odd to say the least, the abrupt shadow at the bottom seemed odd to me, and the undulating apearence of it in total, I had to adjust the levels on the the blowup a fair bit .

o, the video was no great proclamation of undying love , im not in love with you, was just a bit of fun, give the thread a valentines feel a tribute so to speak to all those girls that love mars pics .. seems like ive burnt some fingers tho

How much zoom was required?

I don't zoom. So it was pretty close. Maybe they got a better image of it than the thumbnail.

This one doesn't look so spoke-like.

edit on 14-2-2014 by Blue Shift because: (no reason given)

Thanks. That is pretty close, and small. At a minimum it's a great addition to the "maybe don't know scratchin' the head well, I dunno" file, and maybe the best example we have of these things so far. At least a good one. The search for others continues.

Now wouldn't you think NASA, if it is edging up on the rock, would swing an arm over to grab a real close up view? When would they release such a picture? Because if they didn't, they have a fool for a client.

Or don't get fooled again?

One of those.

Char-Lee, whoo, you've been giving ArMap some spins the last couple of hours. Nice finds. That new large picture is interesting, and I only scanned around it for about a minute. I didn't find the box thing the poster pictured, and will go back to look around it. I can't capture any images from it, every time I try on one of the panning pictures my machine won't grab the right spots.

I like all the older pics you've found and reposted. I'll go look for that one a couple of days ago where it looked like one of these Mars spokey things standing up (optimists illusion).

edit: Haven't found that one yet, but remember this shell from Mario. I held it to my ear and heard the commotion:

MarioOnTheFly
I'm not gonna say it...because my mind tells me it's impossible. Instead, I'm just gonna say that I named the pic....Dolphin.

Still can't find it. But here's a good un by Buzz:

brilliant vision, speculation is the best fun we earthlings can speculate on,

reply to post by Aleister


That spokey thing is the most machine looking one i have seen.

Love the Marsimal looking "shell like" smooth thing!

You guys....
You're going about it backwards. You see neat rocks then come with cute names.

Your task is to find me a....

Marsupial!

Not a marsupial, but an ear in the shape of Australia in Arken's new thread where he finds an Aztec statue with a triangle groove eye. D+ for effort and the triangle, but another thread that "rocks on".

1 - Areas in direct sunlight. The rock being discussed, because of its shape and position, doesn't have a face in direct sunlight facing the camera;
2 - Area in direct sunlight but in a very low angle, making it less bright than if it was getting the light at a higher angle;
3 - Face of the rock in the shade (or shadow, I never know what to call that, we don't use that distinction in Portuguese);
4 - Shadow of the rock projected on the ground;
5 - Darker area of the rock, either because of being in a different angle, having a different colour or being made of a different material. There are other smaller areas like that on that rock.



I hope that helps understand my interpretation.

Gale Lake must have been a mean battleground, with all the chopped up soldiers being found, and the guy with the spear, and helmets and heads, a mean graveyard of ships (as Jeep has said). Makes me glad to be an earthling (and by earthling, I mean martian).

Naval vessels, indeed ... sols 64 to 109, with features that are more reminiscent of hulls & machinery than anything else. It was a "provocative statement" from my first posts on ATS, but I'll stick to that personal interpretation until proven wrong. I'm still wondering why those shapes & formations haven't been imaged up-close!

The smooth rock - Part II

You just had to look at the stereo pair of the photo you posted to see the side of the rock that was in direct sunlight.

See this.< br />
Having a stereo pair, here is an animated GIF to show the 3D effect...

... and a cross-eye image.



The smooth rock - Part III

There's already a pair of photos from Sol 543.
Here's the image from the left camera and the image from the right camera, with the light shining from a different direction.

The corresponding GIF...

... and cross-eye image.


The image is a little dark, but I thought it better to keep it as it is.

reply to post by Char-Lee


Most likely a rock, but kind of looks like this:

While saving the images to make a panorama for Sol 540 I found the first signs I have seen of movement, even if it's just two mini landslides, near the centre of the photo.

What I find more interesting is that it looks like the landslide happened below those two areas instead of being a slide of the top part of the soil.
