Sol 401, bottom image, right side.



It is stuff like this that draws my attention. Is this a stone outcrop? A mineral outcrop? OR is it some kind of buried I-beam or other manufactured material?

Top image, lower right vertical protrusion.



Here is more layering. It sure looks odd to me if it is sediment. Then my imagination takes over...

I'm thinking it's sedimentary layering that been eroded over the eons by sand storms, maybe early on by water flow.

That works for me. It does look like different processes were in play, likely at different times.

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!
