Just by itself, this is an image of an amazing spot:

... With site names like Possible_Contact, Broken_Hammer, Upturned_Bed, Aft_Outcrop, site168_recon1, site168_recon2 and Chelmsford2and3 they should be very interesting. ...
A couple of those are very interesting names. I don't remember ever getting such nice clues to targets in the past.

Couple of new colour views... can't get on the tracking website to ID them, so apologies for the lack of labels...
The first one apparently goes by the cryptic moniker, "pancam_site168_recon1." Your second image was called, "Kirkwood_back." huh.gif

glacial feature - kames. would sure explain a lot of the features we see around here, and at Mt. Sharp. ...
Of all the various kinds of glacial deposits: the various moraine types, eskers, drumlins, kames, erratics, etc; kame deposits have become my favorite of them all.

I have long suspected that glacial geology may have had a significant influence on Mars. Can you point out where you suspect you see kame deposits on Cape York, because I don't see it.

Mt. Sharp may possibly be a whole different story. I'm trying to keep an open mind with regard to its genesis.

Beautiful mosaic (as usual) Damien. I did the same one using Autostitch but refrained from posting because I knew you would make and post a much better one.

Here's a polar view of this site.

By the way you may want to rename the thread "Oppy snail route map" these days.

Oppy's doing just fine, taking her time. She's an 8 year old kid, locked on her own in a geological sweetie shop. Why would she rush? smile.gif

I was refering at the SHAPE of the route (have a look)! It does look as a snail.
I fully agree with you, no rush, specialy now that we've found such a nice spot. Sorry for the confusion.

Heavily salted mud will dry like that in seasonal lake beds - it's caused by the salt crystallization within the the silt and mud. (Not saying that's what is going on here.)

The whitish rock here may have a dense covering of vein material.
