Unusual rock Vs small primitive statue. I've been looking at Sol 542 today. I think I've already seen this on the internet somewhere. Just one for reference.

What I find interesting is that the statue/rock is well rounded, in contrast to many of the other rocks/objects in the image. It definitely is worth a second look.

You're right on that one. There shouldn't be enough liquid flowing on the surface to smooth a rock that way, right? So what shaped it?

Or, alternatively, what didn't shape the objects with sharp edges. Those may be newer then the rounded, weathered rocks. Which leads to the question, "Where did they come from."

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!
