And here she is at "Sutherland Point" - or pretty close to it anyway - on sol 3324. The drive was about 79m southwest, more or less - probably more, since she didn't go in an exact straight line.

The ground at our feet is trying to tell us something. What do you suppose it is?

That's the ground that was at our feet, back on 3317 when we had just left CY...

Not quite. Botany Bay sulphates are supposed to be well hydrated in comparison to the plain. Perhaps it is just my ageing eyes but despite the lag of big juicy berries, embedded berries seem extremely sparse. - almost as though the lag originated external to the crater.

I also thought the image linked by Bill Harris (on right) resembled a spot on the rim of Erebus crater (on left) seen on sol 634. (Images not to same scale(?))
As seen in this Opportunity route map,
the left (sol 634) image is from the area labeled Olympia Outcrop here:

That we should all get rid of our trendy travertine tile kitchen flooring and go with the more pleasing sinuous appearance of a nice polished and sealed layered sandstone? -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Looks like we have now hopped up onto the bench surrounding Sutherland Point. More to follow.

Any relation to MMB? >Gypsum veins May be, but it's a stretch with this/these views-- I see a few light-toned flakes which may be arranged linearly. Given the genesis of these filled fractures, it's not surprising. --Bill -------------------- |

"it's a stretch "
Yes, it is. But I think that's what they are. We'll see, as we get further on. This is quite a cute little mini-Cape York. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
