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 -------------------- |

My preliminary take on Parks is that it is a piece of basaltic ejecta that is weathering in-place but is still a semi-coherent mass. I'm suspecting that the "dark cobble lag deposits" are similar but dis-aggregated and scattering.
It is interesting the way the bedrock in Tesheiner's L7 Pancam mosaic changes from neat slabs in the foreground to a fractured jumble of fragments in the background. --Bill -------------------- |
