We are closer to the descent into the lower area of Glenelg. The rock type around Curiosity has changed from the fluvial gravels and we are using the robotic arm to study it. At the same time we are getting glimpses into the lower area of Glenelg, which has led to a lot of discussion.
Working in an international team can sometimes lead to communication problems. For instance, recently we were discussing a ‘football-shaped’ rock in one of the images. I started looking for a spherical rock, but being in the US it turned out that the rock in question was oval-shaped. We reached a compromise by describing it as ‘rugby-ball shaped’.
