erseverance rover acquired this image using its onboard Right Navigation Camera (Navcam). The camera is located high on the rover's mast and aids in driving.
This image was acquired on Jan. 28, 2025 (Sol 1401) at the local mean solar time of 16:11:43.

As you noted the abrasion patch appeared extremely fragile, so I guess many of the team second guessed that there was a good chance the core would possibly break up with some left in the hole, or even lost while turning the drill to the horizontal position for transfer to the Cache. Fingers crossed they have enough....
Looks like they have successfully acquired sample number 26, the core may have been a little friable as it looks like it broke up, it also looks small sample. It may take a while but JPL will eventually release its name and size etc on the sample page. Attached is a CacheCam image of the sample tube and core from sol 1401
Curiosity acquired this image using its Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm, on January 23, 2025, Sol 4432 of the Mars Science Laboratory Mission.

Data for the drive on sol 1400
A short drive to site 66.000 on sol 1400 (January 27, 2025).
The new location is overlooking an earlier abrasion patch at site 64.2278 that the rover reached back on sol 1363.
The attached image is a very roughly processed cropped mosaic using six L-NavCam tiles from some post drive images.
The mosaic highlights some of the recent rover wheel tracks as it continues its exploration outside Jezero crater.

Dust devils in Arabia Terra - Perseverance NavCam - Sol 1398
This enhanced processing of Navcam Left images shows several dust devils moving across the floor of Arabia Terra, just outside of Jezero crater.
The largest dust devil in the foreground is at least 300 meters high (328 yards).
The largest dust devil starts at the edge of the crater which is located 1 kilometer east of the rover’s location (~5/8 mile)
For scale the crater floor viewed from this direction is close to 220 meters wide (722 ft)
The original sequence lasts about 2.5 minutes, and was taken around 12:26 local mean solar time.
This is a reduced resolution version of the animation by Simeon Schmauß.

In this GIF, I see three dust devils, it looks like there are at least 4 in the full size (uncropped) version on Flickr.

Ooops....
I'll repost it in M20 😱
