Sol 1814, September 13, 2017. Curiosity’s Mastcam turned its gaze downward to image the rock surface next to the rover. Seen close-up (click the image), the rocks are finely layered, but heavily broken and eroded, with pebbles and sand collecting in low spots.
Below is Curiosity’s location on the ridge; note the many large cracks in the rock. (See the panorama here also.) In addition, while the ridge-top is broadly flat, several eroded layers appear to rise successively toward the south (image bottom). Click either image to enlarge it.
