A very roughly stitched mosaic of a set of overlapping MAHLI frames from sol 2424 that appears to feature the Woodland Bay target.

The mosaic is somewhat distorted and I'm sure one of the regular image wizards can do a much better job at stitching these together than me and MS-ICE.

I've posted this version just to give folk a heads up and it can be deleted once a proper version is posted.

My take on the Sol 2424 MAHLI images.

Bit of a problem bottom middle of no.1 Jan. Part of one Mahli image duplicated right and down.

My take on the Sol 2424 MAHLI images.

I see some duplication in the lower left part of your No. 1 image.

[jvandriel]

Great catch serpens and charborob.
I missed it.

Thanks.

Here is the correct one.

With those Milkankivch-looking layers, I'd be REALLY interested to hear some first impressions from the Columbia U. crew who worked backward on the idea of a "Geological Orrey"

Newly Forming Map of Chaos in the Solar System

Digital elevation map of sediment strata formed on a lake bottom some 220 million years ago, near present day Flemington, N.J. The lakebed was later tilted so that its cross section now faces the sky. Purple sections are ridges — remains of hard, compressed sediments formed when climate was wet and the lake deep; alternating greenish sections are lower areas made of eroded-out softer sediments from dryer times. Each pair represents 405,000 years. Groups of ridges in lower part of image manifest a separate 1.7 million-year cycle that has today grown to 2.4 million years. The 40-square-mile area is dissected by parts of the modern Raritan and Neshanic rivers (blue). (LIDAR image by U.S. Geological Survey; digital colorization by Paul Olsen)

Given that the the Woodland Bay target is anomalous showing lamination as compared to surrounding bedrock, can we assume that it has been rotated?

Sol 2425 L-MastCam cloud survey: Used GIMP/G'MIC-Qt/Repair/Bayer reconstruction. No additional processing, then roughly assembled in MS-ICE (see top version)

Then I used a bucket full of artistic licence adjusting the colours and made the version at the bottom for fun

Hoping someone can join some of the other images from the large set as unsurprisingly MS-ICE did not enjoy working with these wispy evening clouds, and maybe provide a better interpretation of what the colours will have looked like



EDIT: Well I did not have to wait long: Damia has issued the full mosaic on her blog, it does not disappoint Link

Thanks, Jan. That shows we have left Woodland Bay and moved out into the plains again, south of where the last samples were taken. There is a nice bit of outcrop nearby, so maybe a new target. Here's a circular view of the area from Jan's panorama.
