QUOTE Yawwwnn, no 00:35 imagery, maybe we'll get some later this AM... Today's 12:35 Exploratorium update (the date counter on the Index page is still on 09-Nov-11, BTW) has several MI's from Sol-2771 (apparently Deadwood, p2996) and a 3x1 Pancam set looking westwardly from Sol-2772 of a target enticingly named "contact" (p2424) and Nav- and Haz-cams of unknown content. Go fetch. They look interesting. --Bill -------------------- |

... and a rather stylised MI view of "Deadwood"...

High-tailing it to the northern slopes again! Sol 2773 has this image.
Thanks Stu, et all, for the fine image processing of the last few weeks! |

I'd like to second that emotion, The MI assemblies of late have been particularly well crafted...

No oyster shells or sand dollars. Not even a rusty set of car keys. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

QUOTE (ElkGroveDan @ Nov 12 2011, 09:36 PM) shoreline features From above it does indeed look very like a shoreline, yet it isn't level. Could its formation nevertheless have something in common with that of a shoreline? A shoreline is produced by wave action, an agent that operates in one plane. Hence we find wave-cut platforms, cliffs, caves and so on within a narrow elevation range. Let's imagine a process that is confined to a surface, but one that doesn't have to be perfectly level. Erosion by saltating sand grains comes to mind. It would be localised near the curved surface of draped sediments surrounding protruding features, in this case dipping inward towards the centre of Endeavour. So, is this 'beach' a saltating sand-cut platform carved out of Endeavour rim materials? I think the answer may already be on the way. |

And the P2576 Pancam sequence (and associated Navcams) show the disturbed and disrupted Homstake vein in full glory...

I rotated the sol 2769 overhead pancam of Homestake and juxtaposed it with the sol 2773 pancam to facilitate comparisons. The sol 2769 overhead view (before disturbance) is on top, and the oblique view from sol 2773 (after disturbance) is below. Both images are raw, false color composites.

 ...Hmmmm.Sure seems like the white stuff is a lot more mechanically robust than the surrounding material. That is quite interesting indeed. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Indeed.
Purportedly, we intended to drive over it 3 times -- turn, turn, drive away. Not sure if we hit it all three times. -m |
