Finally drove away from Pahrump Hills on sol 923. Wheel tracks sure are piling up at the end of the drive -- there seems to have been quite a bit of slip.
[admin note: I was going to start a new thread for this, but realized our thread naming may be a bit out of whack because we're really not journeying to Mt Sharp anymore, are we? We'll discuss it with admins and I'll move/rename posts when we figure out our naming schema.] -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

The newly brushed target (Sol 936) close to the complex Garden City vein seems to be very soft again (well-scratchable by the brush).
The rock contains grains (clusts, concretions,...) which appear harder (more erosion-resistant) than the matrix. The interior of the rock looks greyish relative to the rind. |

The newly brushed target (Sol 936) close to the complex Garden City vein ... If this were an image from Earth I would be querying raindrop impressions. Not suggesting they are, just noting the similarity. |
