I can not tell if this black object is a hard or a soft material with ragged edges. I only found the one image of this thing. maybe just a rock & the shadows are fooling me.

I found a very clear & close up view of this dark object three sols later on sol 114. it is a rock after all! :unsure:

Interesting form/structure... Like you say, it's impossible to say if its soft like material, or a harder substance like sheet steel, the latter having had considerable force (or forces) to make it shaped like this.... ie; an explosion or crushing / twisting forces etc...

The 2 images below illustrate how tough it is to distinguish the two...

For one, it sure ain't a "Rock" I'm convinced...

Good spot

Dude, it's hard to tell what that is. If there was a picture with better lighting it would help. My first thought is that it's a soft material, but that's most likely highly influenced by, or because of, what we're accustomed to interpreting here on Earth.

It almost looks like one of those fungi that sometimes spring up in your yard overnight when there's wood buried in the ground, and it's humid. Probably don't find those conditions on Mars though :P

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!
