Thanks, I have been having since Wednesday a mysterious fever that attacks from time to time and that I have no idea of its origin, so I can only take some pills to lower the fever, and I avoid even that, but it looks like it's affecting my concentration.

Anyway, what I remembered yesterday (and another thing I forgot while looking for a 3D model of that area) was this very useful site, as it shows the direction the camera was pointing when the photos were taken (that information is part of the information sent to Earth, so scientists can know exactly that).

This is the viewing angle for photo 1197ML0054560020502949E01.



In this image I superimposed the orthophoto, that appears in red. As you can see it's right area.



Edited to add that my concentration is really lacking, as I forgot the link for the page and to explain what's that yellow line.

Measuring the position of the "pyramid" from the left side of the photo I got a distance of 21% the full width of the photo, which corresponds to an angle of 21% of the whole viewing angle, so the "pyramid" should be close to the yellow line.

excellent , ill get busy with the strip , see if the region can be isolated and extruded

in the interim

a small serrated edged *shell*?

there's a few shots of this for comparison

seems like the stratification effect has disappeared

Was there any stratification there? I don't recognise the location.

[funbox]

I think its the same location as the last four pages ...

not see the resemblance ? seems like its taken from a lower elevation than the others

You're right, I see it now. But the striation is still there, better noticeable on the higher resolution colour photos.

higher resolution ? , you mean they've got a bit closer don't' you ?

I shouldn't have said "higher resolution", as that's not the case, but it's not a case of being closer, as I was comparing the grayscale photo you posted with the colour photo I posted.

The difference between those two photos is not resolution (it's the same), it's the lens used, as the colour photo was taken with a lens with a bigger focal length, so the objects appear larger.

indeed.., how do you think the sharper of the pyramid shaped mounds , maintained its edge over the others ?
selective attrition ?

I still don't see this shared strata  you see in colour or black and white.. where are you defining its geometric and textural outlines within the pictures ?

I think it was something similar to what creates those balancing rocks, different layers erode in a different way, but if there's a rock in a layer it changes the way that layer reacts to erosion and the end result would look different.

Well, if you don't see them I don't know how I can show them to you, unless I draw some lines showing where the different layers are.

another local instance would be good  ,although im not striking a one off, off the books

no need , further photos will sooner or later crop up ..
