question-circle Stone Carving or Sculpture on Mars in Sol 580 Image?

8 years 1 month ago - 8 years 1 month ago #4535 by Todd
In this Curiosity Sol 580 right mastcam image, there is a red object on the Martian surface that looks similar to worked stone. The rectangular grooves on the left side of the stone form something of a squared figure 8 design and it generally appears as if it might have been manipulated using tools. The image below was processed from the pds raw .img file.

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!
