Not much of tosols bit has come down, but most of yestersols has. James I am really impressed by both stu's and james canvin's views of the strata exposed on the face of Capo Verde. For the first time details can be seen in the shadows. Now the geologists can get to work describing these beds which I think are stratigraphically below the Gibson band that Oppy RATed a few months ago. Am I correct in thinking that I can see lenticular bedding or am I just imagining it? Am I correct in thinking that some of the rocks on the slope are in situ and are therefore representative of an even lower stratum? |

There is a path in front of the rover which has a rocky ground almost at the base of the wall. That ground is layered, visible on both nav and pancams, and might be in situ. |
