Curiosity Rover Sol 1246 Composite: Structural Ruins in the Pahrump Hills? was created by Todd

Here is a composite made from three right mastcam images taken in the "Pahrump Hills" (?) on sol 1246. As far as I know, the images were the only mastcam images taken by Curiosity of this particular scene . The terrain has samples present which I think may be good candidates for ancient, exposed structural ruins. These images were processed from the PDS raw DRCL .img files.

Perhaps the best example, an object which looks like it could have been constructed to include an entrance way or open vista, below.

This object below has an outer layer of material with a patchwork quilt-like pattern on it.

A lot of unique samples here, seemingly still embedded in the Martian ground, 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!
