Here is the closest tricolor sequence so far, an L257 Pancam of the dark outcrop at Mogollon Rim from Sol 657. This image is exaggerated 5x to show surface relief details. If the image is resized H=100% and V=20% the vertical exaggeration can be removed to give the natural appearance.
Interesting outcrop. --Bill -------------------- |

The rock of Mogollon rim has two distinctive colors: clear and dark. What might influence the color of these rocks?
Perhaps, the line of two colors is determined by the heigth that the water had reached in past time? The other hypothesis might be related to some kind of oxidation by any biological process. Rodolfo |
