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:

Note the encrustations on the rock at the top that look similar to grains in the dark material, possibly eroding into the dark material. This would suggest the dark material has been around for a while. [EDIT] Also observe the small white piece near the top that appears to have broken off and fallen onto the dark deposit. (Of course, the multiple RAT grinds nearby may have disturbed this area.) |
