Yes, good find!!!

Let's agree that that one is a "NAR" find!!!... "Not a Rock"

I just noticed all the thumbnails shown on SOL 514 RAW.... 12 thumbnails and only 4 full data product images are posted available... hmmmmm...

Check out the hand lens thumb at the bottom, wtf???

SOL 512
Mastcam
SUBFRAME Data Product
Three Sources;

02:53:15 UTC-0512ML2012000000E1_DXXX Annotated

02:53:47 UTC-0512MR2012001000E1_DXXX Annotated

02:54:38 UTC-0512MR2012003000E1_DXXX Annotated

I would suggest getting the pixel target from the annotated sources below and looking at it, yourself, on your download of the NASA files.

You need to really study & tweak the contrast, gain and/or brightness to really see what is in these RAW images from JPL.

Zoom in to the annotated ellipses so they are almost full frame on you monitor and then back slowly out...

Buzz, I'm looking at almost all of your pictures and have yet to see anything but common rocks with the shape of rocks, and the one mistake I made in thinking that at least an image of a "skull and spinal column" appeared in a picture you posted. Can you please point out the few images you think are the best examples of what you are indicating are things other than rocks. Thanks.

Ditto. All I see here is pareidolia.

And here's an Iguana Rock I saw crawling along on a thread about Mars Monkey rocks: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Either I am unable to upload full res files here at ATS, or I don't know the correct steps.

Here are the full resolution files, in question, available on a shared basis at my 'Mega' drive for you to download.

interesting one that, alow me to blow it up for you

does look like something mangled, that may have once had spoke like structures

Whoa. That's on Mars????! Buzz and funbox kick the cows innards all over the field and scores big time. Arken alert, he's got to see this. Buzz, this deserves its own thread. That's on Mars?? How is NASA going to explain this one?

Buzz, I saw this post earlier and didn't know what you meant, and then funbox, with his expertise at the zoom, posted his pic, and wow. Just wow (never said that before). This deserves its own thread! You tried, and tried, and posted, and posted, and because you persisted just look at your discovery. Betcha nobody at NASA has seen this, it's small in the pic. Congratulations, maybe this is the Smoking Gun.

I'm proud to be alone with this until someone else comes by the thread. Gave you your second star, and funbox his first, and I feel this as a possible historic moment. I will applaud it, tis what I will do.



EDIT: That's on Mars???!!! I don't remember, did you include the picture number and data? Please do so, yep. EDIT: You did already. Of course.

three wheels on my wagon, surely tho it the big P , well im almost certain nasa would probably say so, if it was a singular bodied entity of course

funbox, do you know what you did? You made Buzz's discovery visible to us peons who find rock lizards and faux rock skeletons. And I'm glad his name is Buzz. Perfect. If this pans out as it might, the perfect name. And of course it's not a turbine, or mechanical, that might be a fossil or fossil imprint. But how would it last so long, in the sands of Mars. Edgar Rice Burroughs and Ray Bradbury are probably doing backflips in their graves.

EDIT: Since it's only funbox and myself here, as it should be on one level of reality, a little analysis. It looks a bit sunken, and round, there is a round impression there circling the "spokes" or whatever those are. funbox, over to you.

reply to post by Aleister


ahh not much really , but it would be good in color , im going to check sol18 for it, see if its there

I await funbox's exploration of the pic, and possible color rendition.

And Buzz, living at the Indian name for Sunfish Creek. Aye.

EDIT: Zoomed in, are some of those spokes segmented? Seem to be. It seems to be sitting under the soil a bit, a definite indention, lower then its surroundings, so maybe it was covered by dust or sand, which has blown off at some point. Or it was a larger structure/body which eroded away leaving the bottom impression intact. And the middle "hole", just today I was posting on those holes, vugs, Vuggy porosity, and the Wikipedia information concerning them. Sure looks like a vug (a word I've never heard before today).

www.abovetopsecret.com...

where this was posted:

en.wikipedia.org...

This is secondary porosity generated by dissolution of large features (such as macrofossils) in carbonate rocks leaving large holes, vugs, or even caves.

And this is a great story, as Buzz's post sat there for almost 17 hours until funbox wandered over for a look, liked what he saw, blew it up, and things started to pop.

I've alerted Arken, Jeep, wildespace, Jade, and the ATS staff on an alert.

"I doubt we will ever get to see Mastcam colorized here... to much laying around."

hmmm waiting game , just like the shell closeups, nasas such a tease

If NASA saw this they are probably holed up somewhere, maybe in the Oval office. But I'm wondering if this was totally missed until Buzz's post, very likely the case. If it was, maybe NASA will be holed up in the Oval office in quick order. What day was this taken? I don't know the specifics of dating the sols, this was 518? Was that this week?
