Mars - Journey Though the Buttes - Murray Buttes

[NancyYvonne]

Since my last post, I decided to find better pictures to post. I had collected quite a few when I came across this gigapan stitched together by Neville ThompsonMSL 1450 M100 N-SE PDS.



The area below the butte on the right was very close to the camera, so the objects are much clearer. I believe most of the debris fell from the butte and slid or rolled down the slope.





Starting on the left side of the area below the butte, I have circled items of interest so that you can locate them if you wish to see them for yourself at the website. There a lot of artifacts on this slope, but I have had to pare it down.



Starting with this big blue block, part of the interior is exposed to show layered rock. The exterior appears to be coated with a plaster like substance that is tinted blue. I have seen tinted rocks on other images, many of them broken to expose the original color of the rock, but most of them did not have a thick layer of this plaster type coating on them. In a later picture I will show you what I believe to be the other piece to this rock which is further to the right and up.



Next is a coated layered rock with what appears to be a weathered statue behind it.



Another coated rock.




I know it's not clear, but this appears to be a relief.



Further to the right.



This looks like a hand.



I believe this is the underside of the other part of the big blue rock.



Another relief



And another



This looks like an arm to me.



I found this one interesting.







And then there is this big blue and white fellow.



Another out of focus relief and layered rock.



Top part of a coated rock.



More pictures are in part two.

Further to the right on the slope there are more items of interest.



More coated rocks with relief barely visible.



I have no idea what this is, but it sure is interesting.



Like all of the other artifacts, you really need to go to the website and zoom in as far as you can. You will see fine details on them like there are on this fine example.



Another blue rock with relief on it.



A lot of interesting things in this picture, but look at that rectangular block.



Further to the right.



This looks like the top part of a large wall.

This one is kind of special.



The last of the lower right pictures.



Another rock with relief.



A large blue rock with a relief laying beside it.



Another large blue rock with possible relief on the side.



I won't comment on what I see on this one as I would like to hear what you see, to confirm what I think I am seeing.



Another thick layered rock with possible relief.



A broken layered rock with relief and brown tinted rock in background.



Closeups





Continue on to part 3 for more images.

This is the last post on the artifacts on the slope below the butte. The next pictures are further up the slope starting on the right side.



A lot of different shaped debris in this picture.



Detail on long blue rock.



Fragment to the left of blue rock.



Okay, I'm going to stop calling them rocks. This is a detailed wall with many layers showing. Up on the left corner it looks like a giant hilt to a sword.



Another good view of the debris field.



Closeups



This one looks more gray.



Another layered wall.



I am including three pictures of this one and would love to hear your thoughts on it.



Reversed



Closeup, I know it is not very clear.



Some more debris right below the butte.



Closeup



Further to the left.



Collapsed walls



Part of a column?



The left side of the butte



More fallen wall



And this concludes my post, I can do one on the butte above, if there is interest. The other butte is also interesting, but is not as clear. I hope people will take a look at the gigapan as there are so many artifacts in it.

Over whelming and awesome.
A blue structure would stand out against the red/brown surface so an architect had to have been on the team.
