Drive during 1944, L-NavCam pan roughly stitched in MS ICE be should be good to help pinpoint the location. (the plan called for a 25 meter drive south)
(delete after proper version is posted) |

New thread! Please keep sharing sol 1943 self-portrait work in the previous thread, and carry on discussing the ongoing mission here. Curiosity should be driving east across the top of the ridge for a little bit, chasing interesting CRISM pixels, before driving down into the valley. If we're lucky we might see a little action with restoring the drill to service, too.

The most common informal name seems to be "Phyllosilicate Trough", see e.g. here.

The phyllosilicates form a large class of silicate minerals, with the clay minerals as a subclass. Phyllosilicates have been identified by CRISM in the Phyllosilicate Trough (see e.g. fig. 6 on page 1723 in the paper).

A long distance RMI mosaic, roughly assembled from 9 overlapping images acquired on sol 1948.
The early pointing data on Joe Knapp's image page suggests that it is located Southwest of the rover, if confirmed then it could be a valley Mesa or a section the north side of 'Phyllosillicate Valley'. I see a possible candidate on the NavCam images, but my monitor is poor (like my aging eyes). It could be mentioned in the weekend plan, but I've not found it yet. Thankfully we often get associated MastCam context frames with these image sets, hopefully we'll see it soon so we can establish the actual location. EDIT: As often happens, another image from this set has come down which extends it to the left side a little. I wont flood the server by posting the updated version. Maybe we will see one of those rather nice pansharpened versions (hint) providing the MastCam images have enough detail |

I roughly patched Damia's panorama for location purposes - here is a circular projection of it.
