Curiosity’s Mastcam imaged a low outcrop with thinly bedded layers and a granular texture in front of the rover on Sol 565 (March 9, 2014). The adjacent Mastcam images show thin-bedded outcrops over much of the rover’s vicinity. In the background lies the dark sand dune field at the foot of Mount Sharp.
