As with Doug's anaglyph we can see that behind Comanche the terrain descents abruptaly...If you compare the distance to Gusev's floor from the patch of terrain right aside Comanche and the one where the dark sand rules there's is a great difference over there...It looks like El Dorado is divided in three diferent areas, the dark sand unit, a more homogenous area with almost no boulders in it and, closer to Comanche a depression with more irregular terrain... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

These are from the approach to Comanche, not of Comanche itself, but check out the layering in one of these rockpiles!

Also.. the remarkably even sizes of rockchips in this soil area across one of those straight "cracks" (no shadows in this image so the automatic contrast stretch of the raws is pretty extreme).

There's some pretty wild layering in one of the loose rocks in one of these, while the boulderish outcrop in the other is pretty massive, except for some very coarse separation layers running across the image.

I'm not a geologist, but imho the rock outcrop Spirit is located extends left and right through the whole basin.

I haven't tought that the rover driver will even do that! As I have heard that the tip of Comanche is about 2:50 meters or not? If it is true, the Spirit has rocked up to 2.00 meters high? Rodolfo
