At 11:56:24 UTC the Mastcam Right re-imaged the excavation named “Mary Anning 3” (see https://www.facebook.com/PianetaMarte.MdM/posts/3232966906786480 and https://www.facebook.com/PianetaMarte.MdM/posts/3241879602561877).
By comparing with the previous images, we have confirmation that the excavated material has undergone the same changes observed in the previous excavation (see https://www.facebook.com/PianetaMarte.MdM/posts/3176207112462460).
It would seem that this second excavation in the Mary Anning area served to confirm the detection of particular organic compounds, not yet specified.
I will await with great curiosity the first publication on this subject.
The original image is a black and white encoding of the Bayer mask that has been converted to color through a process called “debayering” or “demosaicing”. In addition, the photo has undergone noise reduction due to Jpeg compression, white balance and a slight increase in microcontrast and color saturation in order to make the colors more similar to what the human eye would see.
