Curiosity: Potential Anomalies (2015)

a reply to: Aleister

shared disillusionment matey , which has put me on a quest to find a Jeffrey Kluger shaped Rock

But here’s the less clickable part of that news: It’s definitely not a giant crab lurking in a cave. In fact, it’s just one more example of the sometimes whimsical, always spooky phenomenon known as pareidolia, or the tendency of the brain to see familiar shapes—especially faces—emerging from random patterns.

Something a little out of place that caught my eye. Kind of artifact-y.

This one, maybe, but you can't tell if the hole goes all the way through. So it might just be an amphora.

new tiff, interesting anomalies...

Nice find !
There's plenty of different shapes on the photo you linked.
I noticed on the left hand side about half way down the photo, there are two rocks that are side by side and look identical.
I don't have the know how to circle them but they seem to be standing upright and bent on the top ?

This?



Looks like whoever made the mosaic used that same image twice.

Edited to add that, most likely, the mosaic was done by some automated method that repeated the image, that has happened to me when I make my mosaics.


Edit 2: I suppose there's a photo missing on that area, as I tried to make a mosaic with the photos from that sol and I also got a repeat area (using Microsoft's Image Composite Editor).

Yeah...that's the one.
I had an idea it was something like that.

Some kind of little circle thingy. Ctl-+ for a better look.

Going to leave this post as a placeholder to edit later. ( To make sure I post it up. )

Found something interesting earlier. Will do the proper post in a few hours. Nothing amazing, but definately interesting.

Ran out of time to edit the post. So here's another.



Image is from Sol 1105


From Sol 1105:

Looks like a steel tie rod to me.

Could very easy be some sort of crystaline / tube formed mineral type thing too. An oddity though in my eyes.

Tiny but interesting.

Back in the day when we only had a few grainy pictures of Mars taken near the landing sites of the various landers, stuff like the things I'm pointing out would have had entire kook websites devoted to them, trumpeting proof of life on Mars. But everybody is so jaded now, folks point something out that could be an old fossil or interesting shape and it's "ho-hum" big deal.

Fossil of an animal

a reply to: Clonevandal

Good find, that's one of the best fossil-like features I have seen in a long time.

PS: but I don't think it's a fossil, seeing how the whole area looks like.

Edited to add a link to a panorama of that area I just made.

a reply to: Clonevandal

Did you find this yourself or is it a reprint from another site? Interesting. If you found it I wish you hadn't colorized it, when the media is semi-forced to report on these things they take the most sensational item to be representative of the object, and by highlighting and colorizing such a good find you're in a way mediadiscrediting your own discovery! All in all, a nice find.
