There's a bunch of stuff that's come down from Spirit on '2008-09-22' that looks as if she's clearing some very old images from the flash memory. There are Pancam and Navcam images that are quite beautiful, including this one which I think is from somwhere near the summit of Husband Hill.

Jump on over to the Spirit images at Exploratorium and take a look. I'd love to see some of these images processed in colour.

Those look like Pot-o-Gold style "rotten" rocks that have eroded from the inside out, leaving the armored shells behind.
