The layering in these rocks is so fine it almost looks like the pages of a thick book!!

Glorious technicolour in an L2, L5, L7 flavour - all multiplied by L7 and mid-grey-scale levelled off the marberrys

Great Stuff !

I can see a couple of "double marbles", some "half marbles" and one "half marble" with an intersting patten.

Fantastic...

By the way the following link shows a fantastic image created by Keith Laney. It shows one of the first patches of soil Opportunity has observed using the the pancam:

In the upper right quarter (see attatched image) one can find a couple of half marbles, some broken marbels (white arrows) and even some that appear like shells (look at the shadows (yellow arrows)). I hope you can see what I mean.

What do you think ?
