NavCam of the veined rock where the core was taken. The darker cone shaped tailings are where they acquired the core. The lighter toned patch is where they abraded the rock earlier. One possibility is that the drill went trough the rock into the regolith. We may get more clues when they get close-ups or the cored hole.
