Hi,

Seems the "Rock Pool" with the tracks has something happening with objects on the floor of the pool moving around, some disppearing and some appearing.

First checkout this image from Sol 137:

The 9 Sols later on Sol 146:

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...90P2565R1M1.JPG

Two of the new objects in the Sol 146 photo have dark patches just below them and one new object is in the middle of the lowest track. The group of objects at the left extreme end of the right most rock shadow (Sol 146 photo) have been rearranged.

It would appear that more of the Sol 137 object can be seen. IE, it appears they are less submerged.

Doug,

I agree that all the later images are essentially identical, albeit in differrent filters. Nonetheless, there is a change from the earlier shot.

Unlike the original poster, however, I see no problem with the spheroids being the cause. We see continuous tracks, some more curved than others and one very interesting track that shows skipping or bouncing of the spheroid.

Also, at least one spheroid is now found stalled in the track.
