Just finished reading the excellent Sojourner book - and it mentioned the rover taking images of its laser stripes - which I'd never seen - so I went and hunted for them

How cool

You can speculate that there is a feature that might be blueberries - but you can not say that that is what they are for sure.

Go and use similar filters as with MER - and in MER images, they come out a bright bright blue - is the same true of MPF stuff?

(Edit - I've tracked down pathfinder .img's - and browse jpgs - and found the closest filters to L2, 5, and 7 in MER terms In MER - these are at 753, 535 and 432 nm respectively, with 20, 20 and 32 bandpass. With MPF - R6 is 750, R9 is 530 and R0 is 440 - fairly similar - and you just dont get the shocking blue that we see with Oppy - sure - maybe similar geological processes creating similar objects, but they're not the same thing we're seing @ Meridiani )
