Good identification, fredk, and I would refine it slightly based on some reprojections I played with, to these hills.

This is incredible - 761 Whrs and dust factor 0.964! From the latest update.

That is sparkly clean. They did not start publishing the dust factors until around sol 1776 but I would assume that it would have only been a matter of a few sols after landing before the dust factor dropped below this level.

So still in Eagle crater? Ah, the memories.
Now the question of whether to credit this to the Martian atmosphere, the mission planners, the local geology (for being so enticing), or all three... |

The black rock at the bottom right of James' mosaic intrigues me. What could be its composition?

I'm at work right now, so away from my home computer, but if I recall in the false color images, it was a bluish color. Usually but not always blue roughly translates to a basaltic in origin in the false color images. I'll have to make a false color version. But making any sort of mineral composition judgement from the raws I don't really like to do.
