Also visible in Context Camera data, what we see here is perhaps light-toned rock *or* smooth units with dust coating. Either way, by analogy to prior experience (e.g., Gale Crater), there is some possibility this is an exposure of ancient mudstone. Or not. The surrounding butte- or yardang-forming materials might also be sedimentary.
