You know GuthBall, in the Old West they used to have railroad tie tossing
contests, to alleviate the boredom and to get rid of the excess alcohol in
their veins. Perhaps one of the guys got a little rambunctious and the tie
never came back down.
And now we know where it landed ....

An old railway sleeper found on Mars?

That's certainly a good one, as though looking kind of "old railway
sleeper" artificial. (? apparently Mars once had trees to make rail
ties?)

Seems they ran directly over the top of it, so it's not such a large
rail sleeper/tie as you'd think.

However, small Mars folks shouldn't have needed much bigger than
quarter-scale.

btw, is it polite enough policy to ask, how old are the frames within
this composite image?
