FLB_490966218EDR_F0482470FHAZ00323M_-br2Sol 1053, July 24, 2015. The Hazcam records the approach to the outcrop standing above the Lion target (light area in the center of the upper image), with Mt. Sharp in the background.

FLB_490974574EDR_F0482518FHAZ00302M_-br2At closer range (lower image), the outcrop reveals a layered upper unit, probably sandstone, and a light-tone lower unit, probably mudstone. (Both images have had their contrast adjusted.)
