We have driven right up to the Cooperstown outcrop.  The rdige (a few tens of cm high) is composed of a resistant layer of sedimentary rock.  This is the most extensive and detailed sedimentary outcrop since we left Yellowknife Bay.

Its also a  fantastic view of the crater rim, a bit dusty but you can see what look like ancient landslides as the rim has degraded over billions of years since Gale Crater formed about 3.6 billion years ago.
