The thing is - they cant really stop on the sides to investigate the interesting formations that are under the whiter rock units we've seen at Eagle, Anatolia and Fram - but above the crater floor which is covered in the usual wind blown dust and so on.

I dont see any side less than about 40 degrees at the top - even though it levels out quite nicely towards the bottom

A few sols of workout for Pancam with all filters, and plenty of Mini Tes - perhaps a drive around 1/3rd of the rim - and then off past the heatshield to the exposed rock 2km south of here.

Essentially - the same as Spirit did at Bonneville. Look but dont touch.

Thing we heard a lot about (I'm sure Nick can expand on this) was that craters 'turn over' the layering - but I dont really see much of that here?
