Time for a new thread.
After moving southwards for ages, the "detour" by the western path has started with a 60+ meters drive on sol 1942. There are no images yet --they should be available on the next update-- so this image was calculated solely based on the rover's mobility info. I'll update the route map later. |

If this is a pedestal, and the the likelihood of the meteorite being exhumed by the wind, would this confirm that this meteorite landed at this exact spot as a secondary? or carried by some other fluid process to this spot (i.e.Glacial ice), and sat here disturbing the local bedrock by just the weight, berried, then uncovered? If this meteorite was thrown to this spot as a secondary, could this pedestal (assuming that it us one) provide any sort of trajectory information (by looking how the bedrock is disturbed) about which direction it came from, possibly narrowing out out what crater it came from?
