In false colour it seems most likely that a hefty chunk of ejecta was deposited in Spirit of St. Louis some time ago.

My own version of the view taken by Opportunity on Sol 3967...
One of the nicest views of the entire mission with its 'romantic' pile of rocks. Enjoy !

It looks like we've driven around SSL and are close to the bright outcrop to its SW:

QUOTE (fredk @ Mar 24 2015, 08:31 AM)  It looks like we've driven around SSL and are close to the bright outcrop to its SW: gratifying, i thought it was all speed ahead into the abyss but was hoping they would detour to check the curious bright splotch out. i cant quite fully make sense of SSL crater, if indeed an impact crater, theres something begging to be unravelled here..

Given the apparent level of erosion is it possible that we are actually looking at the bottom of a transient crater surrounded by shocked target rock

Circular view... the crater shows up well like this. As suggested, I expect this is an erosional remnant of a crater which formed in a layer several meters above the current surface and is now long gone.

Ha ha, at first I thought those were Sol numbers, and wondering WHAT was going now. Now I realize those are years! Onwards Opportunity!
