Curiosity Sol 914: Water Erosion or Stonework? was created by Todd
This is a right mastcam image taken by Curiosity on Sol 914. The image below was processed from the PDS raw DRCL .img file.



The object below is an unusual sample. Imo, the stone was either cracked by natural forces and then the internal edges were softened when exposed to water for a time, or it is a preserved piece of Martian stonework. Enlargement below.

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!
