They sure are giving this abrasion a very thorough look. What are they seeing in it? IANAGOAA (I am neither a geologist or an astrobiologist)

There have been no updates from JPL at this time, it's usually quite a while (many months) before they share any advance info on the chemistry of an abrasion or after a core, if I see anything, I'll be sure to share it here
