just a couple of interesting objects to consider as anomalies.

Dude ... the object in the lower yellow box looks like a submarine with an outsized conning tower.

LOL -- not a very large sub. But then the operators may be the size if ants. Hundreds of them.
It looks like water erosion on it and the rock -- BUT -- nothing else matches the description of much erosion around them.
Which is odd.
But it is Mars -- and "odd" is the order of the day.

Yeah, it would indeed be a very tiny sub. But we don't know how big the Martians were.
Regarding erosion patterns ... you're right. Could be the "sub" was transported in some way, or given the preponderance of layered rocks on Mars, could be just different erosion speeds for the different layers. The rock could have just rolled off of a nearby hillside. Of course, we've only seen a very tiny portion of the Mars surface up close (the rovers aren't exactly speed demons), so there's not much telling what the rest of the surface looks like. We've seen different views in different places from other missions though and so far they're pretty consistent.

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!
