A SHERLOC WATSON and NavCam image of the latest abrasion patch acquired on sol 1375 (January 1, 2025).

The patch has a diameter of roughly 2 inches (5cm). The close up from the SHERLOC WATSON image shows the rough granular texture of the abraded surface.

Agreed fully regarding being a poor candidate for coring.

The night shots were not down when I posted the other images, the colours under the white LEDs are interesting :) I wish they would take more at night with those white LED, not just cored holes and abrasions :)

My brain refused to recall 'Friability' when I made the post... LOL

What vistas and rock types await.... It's going to be a fun year ahead :)
