QUOTE (CR) This is an interesting site with rather dramatic changes in the rock over relatively short distances across that "fracture zone." The latest MIs to come down image a curiously porous rock; one of the more porous Meridiani rocks we have seen. Yes, from the recent Rover update from the PS, it looks like the MER Team finds it as interesting as we have: QUOTE At Cambridge Bay, Opportunity has been homing in on a purple colored stratum sandwiched between buff colored strata, Arvidson said. It is intriguing because it may be an altered horizon or a different facies within the sedimentary rocks, he elaborated yesterday. http://www.planetary.org/news/2010/0831_Ma...ate_Spirit.html And they have been making stops looking for facies changes before we drop onto the new part of the section. As I said, this is getting to be exciting... --Bill PS-- a new L257 of a weathering zone at Cambridge, Sol 2336 (added 5 Sept) -------------------- |

I was wondering if someone would post the whole mosaic of Cambridge Bay here and just found that Horton did that on the "other forum". It's a 6x1 L257 pancam mosaic.

A whole bunch of posts moved to the Cambridge Bay to Parking Lot thread.
REMINDER: Unless your post pertains to the drive from the START OF THE TURN EAST and then UP TO THE STOP AT CAMBRIDGE BAY, then you should be posting in the Bay to Parking Lot thread. |
