QUOTE There seems to be an annoying inverse correlation... Not really. Every outcrop is a window into the subsurface and it helps to look and see what changes have occurred between Points A and B. Remember, the importance of Geology to Geography is that without Geology, Geography would have nothing to rest upon...  --Bill -------------------- |

I bet they will turn her a little bit to the right ... and not straddle that dune crest again ... or to cross the crest perpendicularly instead

It's just my imagination or have those pictures been available FIRST on the MER website then on the Exploratorium?
Last images on qt.exploratorium.edu are from sol 541. Tesheiner |

 Given that position I would say that we are here:

Last images on qt.exploratorium.edu are from sol 541. Maybe they hired some new, hyperactive interns to handle the daily work of posting raw images to the MER web site. |

>That looks rather like frost polygons.
Or mudcracks. On jvandriel's sol542 pan, there are a couple of those odd sunken plates on the right side. I don't think they will be terribly significant in the long run, but they are odd enough to make me go "hmmmm" when I see them. Very strange. I guess we call this the "Via Meridiani"... -------------------- |
