The cropped image is about 72km and 944 pixels wide, making it around 13.1 pixels per km. The object is around 50 pixels long, so I come up with about 3.8km in length.

Thanks for the close-up view. SO, I see that it IS a snail after all! LOL
Seriously though, before I go making up a new species and trying to somehow include the words “Pluto” and “giant” (“giantus”?) into its name, it looks to me like the Sun is in the 11:00 o’clock position and a dark shadow extends along the right from either the 2:30 or 3:00 o’clock position clockwise to the 5:30 position. Another narrow shadow appears to protrude to the lower right from about the 5:45 to the 6:00 position.
This indicates to me that the “head” of the snail (Can you see the two “eyes” as its head is turned around facing backward sporting two big round eyes and a bulbous nose?) is NOT casting a shadow, but is something almost flat and skewed to the upper left a bit.
‘Same with its “shell.” About an eight inch to the lower left of center is a white dot. This white dot is NOT casting a shadow. However, the black inverted letter ‘L’ abutting it to its upper right does appear to be casting a shadow, and this appears to be the sharpest protruding shadow in the 5:30 position.
Then there is a gap in the shadow, suggesting something flat, or low, corresponding to the white dot. Then the 1/8th inch black dot to the lower left of center appears to be elevated sharply and to be casting a shadow protruding to the lower right between the 5:45 and 6:00 o’clock position.
That’s what I see in this image.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
