Wopmay and Chocolate Hills are altered pieces of Meridiani sulfate layers. These layers were laid down over millions of years on top of the older surface that Endeavour crater was formed on. Hopefully the rocks that Opportunity is looking at now are part of that older surface. If so, although they may resemble Wopmay and Chocolate Hills, they would have a totally different composition and history.
