I think the answer is "both", Fred, because one of the features imaged during sol 3103 was labelled exactly "Box Work".

[Phil Stooke]

Good point though - is it really a name or just a description? I have been finding lots of features in the Opportunity feature names database in the Analysts Notebook at PDS Geosciences with names like 'cobble 2' or 'layered ripple', which I don't usually plot as a feature name on the route maps I'm making for future use. Normally I only use things I think are 'real' placenames. I haven't decided about this one yet.

Very nice work Phil! There are some more named features ...
rather small Cartier (1+2) on Sol 3117 for instance:

_{The left one is a somewhat different approach to false color (false color plus pseudo color)}

... Levack and Lively on Sol 3119 (near Falconbridge), Onwatin on Sol 3124, Nipissing 1+2 Sol 3126, Clara Belle and Agnew Lake both Sol 3128 and maybe much more before Sol 3117

Box Work is indeed the name of that specific Sol 3103 feature - more common descriptions like "rear outcrop", "ejecta" or "driving direction" are allways lower case, specific names upper case ...

[ronald]

Hmm - either I missed it or it wasn't yet posted here - Box Work with some lag from Sol 3103:

[ngunn]

I had to look it up but I now understand 'boxwork' to mean a network of intersecting planes governed by the process of crystal formation. I can't convince myself that these 'boxes' formed that way. The edges are not perfectly straight, in fact there are some quite curvy ones. To me they look more like patterns formed by fracture rather than crystallisation.

[Phil Stooke]

Fractures filled with something and then eroded... I don't think they are intending the name literally to refer to crystallization, just referring to the general morphology.

Sol 3128 Navcam -incomplete yet- pan :

[ronald]

I assume this could be Nickeldale - Sol 3132 - maybe the next RAT target?

_{I'll correct the naming (if there is any) when I'm wrong}

[Tesheiner]

Here's a navcam mosaic taken on that same sol but from a different position. She's getting closer to Whitewater Lake.

[ronald]

I used the outer left navcam pics for the anaglyph - so its the same position.
I did a quick polar one:

Interesting twitter message from Mike Seibert regarding sol 3132 movement.

This one is sol 3133:

Near 2 o'clock you can see Kirkwood and the tracks leading there

[fredk]

Big jump in tau on 3134 according to the solar pancam images. (No 3134 images showing the horizon down yet.) This is the right time of the year for it.

[ngunn]

This image is a bit special, I think, what with a nice complete skyline on top of spectacular geology:

[ronald]

Yes, this is really a nice one.

After having a hard time with the navcam pan-anaglyph (which turns out only semi-middle or mittelprächtig in german) I decided to make a cross-eyed version with some sky

[Stu]

What the..?



(raises eyebrow)

Fascinating...

[Antonb]

Fascinating indeed. In the bottom left corner of Stu's anaglyph, it looks like there's a collapsed tube, which meets another in a T-junction. Wind-eroded volcanic remnants?
