Our objective is not just to image the banding, or perhaps layering, exposed on the crater wall, here, but also to capture a full resolution view of the variety of textured surfaces inside and outside the crater. At Context Camera image scale, all of these surfaces are fairly rugged and pitted. Are some of these lithified sediments and regoliths? Is there any hint of lava or intrusive igneous rock here?
