SPACE-MARS-PAHRUMP HILS
This iNASA image from the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover obtained September 26, 2014 shows an example of a type of geometrically distinctive feature that researchers are examining at a mudstone outcrop at the base of Mount Sharp. These features on the "Pahrump Hills" outcrop are accumulations of erosion-resistant materials. Similar-appearing features on Earth form when shallow bodies of water begin to evaporate and minerals precipitate from the concentrated brines.The width of the image covers about nine-tenths of an inch (2.2 centimeters) of the rock surface. This is a merged-focus image product combining information from multiple MAHLI images taken on September 23, 2014, during the 758th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars.
