I'd say that the sol 634 drive put the Kimberley in the rear-view mirror, so it's time for a new thread! Let's see how fast they can move toward Murray Buttes now!

The short bumps are not spurious, they are doing wheel imaging with small rotations between images.
Checking whether these rocks are meteorites is a worthy goal - not enough for a long stop, but I would suggest it would be useful to get ChemCam LIBS data on them to compare with APXS which we have for the Meridiani meteorites. As for clustering, Spirit also say 2 or possibly 3 meteorites at Low Ridge Haven, and at Meridiani Shelter Island and Mackinac Island were also close together. Atmospheric breakup seems quite likely.
