Cropped 6-tile NavCam, shows the rover's new workspace while looking South-southeast after a very short move. The team advanced the RMC site number which sometimes points to a potential sample site. Recent attempts to abrade this type of rock have not been fully successful as the surface of the rock has fractured badly. The observant will notice that the surface of this rock was fractured at some point, maybe it's better cemented compared with those earlier attempts. Watch this space and see what happens next.

That wavy boundary on the left is certainly groovy.

Or should I say that the groovy boundary is wavy?

These rocks are so damned weak that even Mars couldn't sew them up straight.

I hope I'm better at geology than poetry.

Your geology and poetry are way better than mine :)
