    Post-Drive 360 degree NavCam panorama. This is assembled from 31 overlapping images using MS-ICE

    The panorama is centered on the south

    The size is 8192x2432 pixels

    That is a very interesting fault line just to the right of the center of the image. Makes you wonder what the cause and timeline were. Where did the rock layers on the right side end up?

    Where did the rock layers on the right side end up?

    The rover is parked on a gentle slope as it climbs higher up Mt Sharp.

    If you check the HazCam view, there is a float rock closer to the rover. I'm not a geologist, but I assume that this could be a possible candidate for part of the the missing outcrop that slid down slope after it broke off by being undermined.

    From what I've read, the science team believe that these sedimentary rocks in Gale crater were fractured when several kilometers of overburden were eroded out of the crater. Here's a link to a short video (<3 minutes) from JPL https://youtu.be/Q-uAz82sH-E

    Thanks, that video answered my question. Geological timelines are as intriguing as the speed of light.

    Geological timelines are as intriguing as the speed of light.

    Glad to help
