3D view of "Ridout"... It may be my imagination, but I think I'm seeing lineations (layering?) in two different orientations in Ridout, a slanty one on the left side and more horizontal one on the right side. EDIT: Upon further consideration, it appears that what I'm seeing is a big foreground rock and a similar sized rock behind it (perhaps the same rock broken into two parts). In this case, the lineations are probably consistent. |

The blueberry lag deposit seems to have disappeared now that we are on Cape York proper.

Shamelessly stealing Stu's image to bring out detail in the shadows. It looks to me from this distance that Ridout's a breccia (i.e., a glued-together agglomeration of angular chunks of older rocks). Maybe not surprising, given that it's part of the rim of a 25-km impact crater... John |

The blue stones look very familiar, the pink/rose (Stu image) purple (J B image) stones look like something new... Anyone remember seeing rose-colored stones before? Could these be someting interesting????
[edit] Maybe I just have on rose colored glasses looking for new types of rocks. -------------------- |

Well, I always kinda figured "why bother?" when others have a several-year head start on me when it comes to MER raw images. Plus, there's already plenty of folks who post their own color work. Excellent work, Ugordan. Come on now Stu, I've been trying to lead Gordan into working on the old images I like (and used to process), not other new images -------------------- |

I still can't quite believe we're here after that epic journey! Fantastic views, well worth the wait.
Thanks to all for the continuing anaglyphery and vista-stitching wizardry. |

Wow! I just looked at the august 15th pancams and my head is spinning. My inner python is comming out!
Does that flat top rock have a thin crust of light material on top? Does the rock point back to the rock garden and a light colored path in it? Are the light colored shards in the soil pieces of the same stuff? I need to see this stuff. Monty. |
