There's so much depth of field in this 3d view that you really can imagine being there...

It took me a while, but I found the crocodile (circled in red) (from previous sol in MHOWARD image post #494, thank you Mike)

That is a stunning 3D view, Stu.
Climber: I agree with your ID of croc rock. I think I've been able to ID the two largest rocks that we've been following for some time - circled in black and white. The biggest and darkest one, circled in white, is actually pretty slim. But you can see from the side (2450 view) that it actually does hang over - that's why it looked so dark.
Based on a distance of around 28 metres, the dark rock is around 90 cm tall. |

What a mess.

When I see this, I'm just thinking: "The Perfect Crater". I feel like a food critic who just tasted the perfect... ratatouille..
 - Not too big, not too small, interesting topography, eminently navigable inclines, easily approachable rocks, untreachorous solid surface: Perfection. Add to that: a rover team which has reached driving and science operation excellence, a deep space network that's not just a network but is more like a Swiss clockwork, and finally a fast-working second-to-none imaging team at UMSF! These are good times indeed. Now I just hope Mars doesn't throw us a curve-ball. But even if she does, the MER team will deal with that splendidly, I'm sure. |

I'm putting these here since the others for this sol are posted here. We should move to the new Santa Maria thread after this, though, I think this pretty much counts as arrival
