You can avoid those awkward units, by getting it in bytes, with
sudo parted /dev/sdd unit B print
That then gives you a precise position and size should you need it.

After attempting to mount it, have a look at the end of dmesg(1)'s
output for any information from the kernel filesystem modules about what
they did or didn't like.

Also, look at its bytes, e.g. the first 16KiB with
sudo hexdump -Cn $((1024 * 16)) /dev/sdd1 | less
You might find it's a compressed file, inflated into the terminal's RAM
on boot, where it's only then a filesystem image.
Cheers, Ralph.
