Here is 2km square of Vera Rubin Ridge & beyond made with best available HiRISE data & compressed to fit within Sketchfab constraints.
Vera Rubin Ridge @Sketchfab [ 2km square ] The 8k texture limit covers approx 2km sq. Scaled for VR so you can start wandering from Sol 1727 location. -------------------- |

Cropped 1727 R-MastCam mosaic (2 frames in MS ICE, sharpened with 1 meter-long scale bar added), features what I believe to be Spaulding Mountain The sedimentary layers appear to be a little odd / puzzling for mudstone? Likely a valid explanation for these cross bedding like features (thin mineral filled fractures?)
