'Thank you very nice' Nico!
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). |

Uhhh, what impressive climbing, the rover driver has already mastered in scaling rocks: Rock Crawler!!! 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 |

QUOTE I'm not a geologist, but imho the rock outcrop Spirit is located extends left and right through the whole basin. I agree, that outcrop does seem to lay at the same elevation throughout the Inner Basin. http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?showtopic=1854# Whew, that _is_ some fancy driving! --Bill -------------------- |

QUOTE (Toma B @ Dec 19 2005, 06:29 PM) That looks like a big, dark dune ahead - look at the straight crest. Seems like it's a gathering place for sand in the lee of the hills... Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
