I showed the latest image of this outcrop to my roommate, who pointed out its resemblance to a large pile of, er, thoat droppings.

My hope is that this is the edge of an upturned flap of rock strata that was violently flipped during the impact that formed Endeavour. It looks like the edge of a strata that dips in towards the center of Endeavour, though that's hard to tell with any certainty from this angle.

Anyone think this resembles the Woolly Patch that Spirit studied, which is suspected to have been a small clay outcrop?
