Oh, no, it was definitely interesting enough. This latest sampling attempt took place a good eight sols after the abrasion, and they were hitting this thing with the X-ray and LIBS (laser) instruments for more than five sols, all of that before they broke out the coring drill. By my count, only one rock at Lac de Charmes got anything quite like this kind of treatment (the Vingeanne target), and the only target in this entire mission that took hits from SuperCam for longer was this conglomerate (sedimentary) rock down on top of the delta, where they did end up sampling.

Yeah, they irradiated this rock like Curiosity taking potshots at cats.

Yes, that is very reasonable. I hadn't thought of it in that context. Thank you.
