Oh, man are there some things going on between...

Just why does the vesicular basalt float become abundant at this boundary?


I've been sittting here fidgeting and waiting for the next image shipment to come in. If HP is an eroded maar, we are seeing details of the vent. I'm thinking that this change in lithology represents a change in the eruption. Earlier phases of the eruption produced the frothy vesicular "fractal spongebob" basalt which changed to the light-toned frothy "styrofoam-like" rock of the laminated "Gibson unit". I'll predict that we may see a transition between the two, and may also find rocks produced even earlier in the eruption.

Remember the things we saw on the headlong rush from Ultreya to here.

FYI, there is a nice 4x2(?) L257 pancam mosaic being downlinked.

I was unsure of what a maar was, so I did a little Google search. Check out: http://www.maar.us/ ohmy.gif

I'm sure that's not what Bill intended! But some of the other search results (including the USGS) were very helpful.

Hey, guy. I've heard of wish-fulfillment, but would even Ustrax want Lake Wobegon in place of Ultreya? I can't see the sailboats and waterskiers, but somehow I know they're there. wink.gif
This colorizing business can go too far.
Seriously, the way Eldorado's albedo varies according to the viewpoint is not only amazing but a caution.

That's the view I've been looking forward to seeing since we first looked down on home plate from above. Nice one smile.gif

Beautiful, James! cool.gif

I see an interesting/strange pattern at Ultreya/El Dorado dunes. Is that real or may it be a sort of jpeg artifact?

Edited: I've edited the previous crop and added some drawing. I hope you don't mind, James.

Could be, but it's not the same effect seen from quite far away.
See that zig-zagging -- I've edited the previous crop and added some drawing.
