This image covers layered sedimentary rocks on the floor of an impact crater north of Eberswalde Crater. There may have been a lake in this crater billions of years ago, and the area was once considered a landing spot for the Mars Science Laboratory.

There are diverse rock compositions, as we can see in an enhanced-color cutout . This image completes a stereo pair, so be sure to view the stereo anaglyph. Here is a sample at full resolution .
