I look forward to seeing what the science team make of this particular jigsaw.

Some structure amid the jumble? Context (rotated left):

New rock type. Parallel-eye 3d. Left eye is L456 composite.

This one, from a Sol 5103 pancam, is also a bit different: a darker coating with perhaps a slightly fluidized appearance.

A few images dribbled out from Sol 5105. In the above, the ground cover between the rocks may hold some interest.

So here is kind of a rough quick peek of what it will look like using just the L2 filter, and rescaled to 25% of original resolution.

The rock (which I am nicknaming "Jason's Mask") also moved, but this is likely caused by grain evacuation from under and around the rock.

Keep posting image processing of images Opportunity returned to this thread, dust storm stuff over there. Best wishes to Oppy and the whole team that we'll have new images from Perseverance Valley to post here in the future. -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

I wanted to take my time on this one, in fact, it will probably make its way onto my living room wall. The last 360 panorama from Opportunity before contact was lost due to the storm and I'm hoping it won't be the last from the mission.
