I have been Geo Science Theme Lead GSTL for the last two sol plan (sols 1112-1113). One of the main topics we have been discussing is where to drill next. This rock called Meeteetse – a Wyoming Native American name meaning meeting place – contains some of the high silica contents we have been finding recently in the light areas, and also late veins that cut through the rock.
