Here is the closest tricolor sequence so far, an L257 Pancam of the dark outcrop at Mogollon Rim from Sol 657. This image is exaggerated 5x to show surface relief details. If the image is resized H=100% and V=20% the vertical exaggeration can be removed to give the natural appearance.

Interesting outcrop.

Structurally, this outcrop is on the Erebus crater rim, which may be upturned. Stratigraphically this seems to be down in the section and I have the feeling that the dark unit is below the Burns Formation (I'm getting away from calling it "the evaporite unit"). The dark unit seems to weather differently so it has a different physical appearance from the light-colored unit. I'm looking forward to getting close views of that Mogollon outcrop, as well as some chemistry (it will be great when we get our handlens and scratchplate back).

In the current Pancam images there a lot of interesting views of the adjacent bedrock. I've barely looked at them.

Here you have a 7x3 pancam (L7) pano with the images from sol 657.

There are six additional columns planned for sol 658, so maybe it will end being a 360º view.
