Since the Odyssey safe mode seems to have thrown a spanner in the works as far a images MER images are concerned, we'll have to make do with what we have. So here is the Bottomless Bay mosaic with luminosity from the full resolution L2 and colour from the L257 64x64 thumbnails.

FYI, one of the pancam shots planned (and hopefully taken) on sol 1021 is named "Islas Baleares".

QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Dec 12 2006, 09:47 AM)  Good to see the Gecko looking so chilled and happy! As it happens, one of those islands hosts a popular club called "Space". I'm sure there's a moral in there somewhere... The details of the cross-bedding emerging are fantastic. Do I remember someone (Steve Squyres? I've heard a lot of Steve lately, what with Doug's interview, the lecture, the radio programme. I'm spoiled!) mentioning cross-bedding as indicative of dunes, as opposed to running water? Or is it the case that it's consistent with both, but that festoon cross-bedding is (one indicator) that it has to be running water, as opposed to aeolian deposits? Looking at the size of the most obvious examples, I can more easily imagine wind-driven sand /dunes/ than watery sand /banks/. (And we all know what a great guide uneducated intuition is to these sorts of things..

That's the same darn blueberry image we argued about earlier. Remember the discussion of cone-shaped berries versus spherical? SS has also used the bathtub ring analogy (I think it is a great analogy) several times previously to describe the concept that the concretions diminished in size and possibly disappeared altogether as Opportunity climbed in elevation, and probably stratigraphically, above an ancient water table.
I think it was a decent article, but it is mostly recycled information from other sources. -------------------- ...Tom (thinks he should use more emoticons)

Stu, very nice!
Has anyone put together the complete navcam pan for 12/15 or did I just miss it in another thread? -------------------- Floyd
