It looks like we had a pretty good drive on 4078 roughly to the east (or NE) and now have a better view down into Marathon Valley:

Sol 4209 pancam anaglyph:
Notice the dark streaks in the left center of the image. They were also visible on this image, taken on sol 4201. I wouldn't stick out my neck too much, but visually, they bear some similarity to RSLs (recurring slope lineae). |

I wouldn't stick out my neck too much, but visually, they bear some similarity to RSLs (recurring slope lineae). We've seen such streaks in many MSL photos. I'm more inclined to think that they are miniature "landslides" of the darker martian sand that sits underneath the lighter reddish coating of iron oxide dust. -------------------- Curiosity rover panoramas: http://www.facebook.com/CuriosityRoverPanoramas
