Think we can kick off the new phase of exploration at Jezero.

Here are some more details on the discussed "lump".
1. The central part of the sol 526 SuperCam RMI mosaic with added scale. 2. Sol 526 Mastcam-Z wiggle-stereo image 3. Sol 526 Mastcam-Z anaglyph As can be seen in the two stereo images, the left side of the "lump" protrudes. Behind it is a cavity with a depth of roughly 20 to 30 cm. The background of the cavity consists of sandstone and/or sand with a grain size of about 0.7 to 1 mm. The "lump" appears to continue into the rock in a northeasterly direction (to the right in the images). The distance from the camera to the outcrop was about 24 m. |

I think the cavity is a wind tafoni feature: some of the clast, which was likely friable and loosely bound once dried out, has weathered and fallen away, creating a little pocket to catch even more wind action. The clast was probably a fairly equidimensional, but now only a remnant remains. The coarser sediment in the back of the cavity was behind the clast. -------------------- Tim Demko
