Bye bye, Tisdale. It's time to move on.
Next target? Philosilicates. ----- Edited on Sep 16 2011. This thread is dedicated to the exploration of Cape York, starting on sol 2703 when Opportunity left the "rocky garden" and started moving towards Chester Lake. |

Question about an image posted in the 30 Sept MER Update from the Planetary Society: what is the feature running from top left to bottom right? If it's not the rim of Endeavour, is it another crater rim, or some kind of lava flow? A shoreline from the watery past?
Apologies in advance if this has been discussed; searching continues to baffle! |

....what is the feature running from top left to bottom right? ..... It's a terrace or bench around CY and other rim remnants that seems to delineate the change between the hematite concretion bearing sulphate sediments and the old rim material. We crossed the bench with some haste and currently can only hypothesise from our armchairs over the underlying cause. |
