sol 52Sept 28, 2012, at about Sol 50 or Sol 51
you only have to pick one rock that stands out to you... like this charcoal looking chunk looks like a crab. so first scan the thumbnails quick for a field of charcoal. then you look for the crab, then just count the rocks forward to find the "rat".But I lack the urge to pore over every one of the thousands of rocks
most thumbnails you can dismiss super quick. i opned like 5 to look closer and took maybe 10 mins..took longer to google a site that said which sol it was after learning yours were wrong.
@Trailblazer just this one. the rover does drive up to the charcoal as its interested in them.. but the rat is cut off from the bottom of pics. and the rover bits arent in the close up charcoal shots.
