Stu's two mosaics (and Ed's in the other thread) actually fit together, so Stu's colour one is not Glenelg, but towards the west.

This is the sol 39 half panorama reprojected.

It looks like a small outcrop of the high TI unit 100+ m south of Bradbury Landing. It shows up well in this MRO image from Emily's blog.

A couple more reprojected panoramas to help with locations. The full circle is from sol 29 but as the rover was still here on the morning of sol 38 I can slip it in here (to keep them all together).

Sol 42 drive images are up. The shadows are long and the dynamic range in the navcam images appears quite high. We've been roving late into the afternoon?

About 3:30pm LMST, about 2 hours before sunset. The sun is practically just directly behind the camera in the highest-contrast ones, which might explain the brightness toward the center (backscatter). -------------------- |

They look very "MER" like now....and different JPEG compression? Look at the horizon/sky

Sol 41 half-panorama reprojected. This enables a very good match to topography, confirming the previous estimate (or very near it) despite me saying it might have to change in the route map thread. But sol 40 had to be changed, as the new map shows.

I'm assuming that the marked areas in the next two images, from above and from the surface, are the same feature?
From above, this feature looks, at first glance, to have a crater morphology (until you look closely and see that its edges are in positive, rather than negative, relief). From the ground, it kind of resembles a miniature version of Home Plate. As Stu said -- fascinating geology. Almost looks like a sedimentary process laid down a fill inside a small crater which has been more resistant to erosion than the surface in which the crater was originally formed. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
