I don't see any real sign of an overhang, just a shadow - compare with this view:

They show up best (but still faint) in blue light. Two-D images can give a misleading perspective. Here is a parallel-eye 3D. (From Sol 4761 images brightened to show detail.) For those who prefer Xeye, here it is: Xeye underestimates depth perception for distant objects (but is better for close objects). Here is a comparison with the image Fredk pointed to (bottom image). The new (top) image is from a slightly lower angle. This R1 from Sol 4759, where the rocks are illuminated, tells a different story. It looks like it was just shadows as Fredk said. |
